Shotgun shells near my grow site!!!

Anyone know what types of animal are hunted this time of year and for how long?

Found a couple of rusty shells within reasonable distance of my grow patch.

geese are what they are from i bet byt could be ducks.
depending on state your in shotguns are used in bird and for shitty shots

Trespassers, year round.

The gauge and size of shot will point you in right direction as well

Rusty. No telling how old they are. Does it matter what was killed? Seems the issue would be that your site is compromised.

The land is private but is not far from a gypsy site.

Ive collected 4 shells altogether now

2x 5mm depth brass looking end, no.12 stamped on them with stars
1x 10mm depth brass looking end, no.12 'gamebore' stamped on it
1x 6-7mm depth brass looking end, no12 'lyalvale' stamped on it.

I know there are rabbits in the area but its also close to a public road so 'legit' hunters im guessing wouldn't aim a shotgun so low down with possible vehicles driving past. I remember a film when I was younger about a boy that went through the woods 'wacking' birds to make them fly out.... been having visions of someone stumbling upon my patch trying to scare birds up...

Pikey's!!! maybe if you follow the trail of shells it will lead you to their caravan lair....

ive been near there looking for more 'patchs' stumbled upon a burnt out car with hundreds if not thousands of spent shotgun shells sliding down the hill to it. countless animal bones and ive gotta say, I would not be so hasty to return.

for a few hundred quid you can get motion sensitive cameras that are totally camouflaged. Maybe good for sussing the area out and getting some piece of mind!

I have one I got from ebay. it can only hold 7days of low res footage but for 75 I didn't complain till the rain got in it... maybe a possibility for the future though, income this time of year is spent very tightly so maybe have to set a few man made devices. Ive even left heavy objects lying around and took pictures to see if any have been moved on my return.

all I can think to do is a. find somewhere else (but this is a really good location)
b. carry on and just not keep my hopes up...
