first trip at roebucks

[wboulter 3]

well I went out for the start of roebuck season, I dont normally get a chance to go this early. I saw a nice buck last night just that little too far I couldnt get on to him, he was in the middle of a large field. I waited all evening hoping he would walk in to mebut he didnt. so this morning I set off in a different place where I had seen a buck a few weeks ago. when I was at the does, I had only been stalking about 15 min when I came across the buck coming through wood, about 70 yrds, so I checked through the bins and straight away could see he was a good un, so up on the sticks with the 3006, I waited for him to turn broad side and took the shot. what a result, well chuffed after a few photos i grolloched him and left him to pick up later. I carried on stalking and didnt see anything for a while, then i came across another very good buck i stood for a while and just watched him. I thought about taking him as well, but decided to let him go as i was more than happy with the one, and anyway he will be there for next time.

Strewth - he's a goodun. I'd leave all that crap on if you're going to get him measured and take it off and stain it after. What a good start to the season - well done!

Bet you wished you'd left him to clean mate Probably a medal if it was clean was but id say the chance has gone now .Live and learn though eh Only joking mate ,if in your shoes i'd of had it too .

i had to take him i`ve let bucks like him go for another day never to be seen again so now every time get the chance to i`ll take them and i think he will still make a medal i soaked the head in water over night and the rest of the velvet came off jobs a good un

I know what you mean about elusive deer...I saw a cracking 6 pointer last year twice...I now haven’t see him since last season...admittedly im not the most regular stalker in the world but it is a fair point about taking a deer when you see it.
