    Great head that mate and good account of a mornings stalk

    Far too solid an animal to be a yearling or even a young buck .The back has a slight dip not seen in youngsters and the neck is far too thick .The fact that he is not fully summer clean, combined with other facts would say hes older than any of the other guesses.Antlers are squat ,a grissled face ,although not a clear sign of age by any means but i would say hes on the downward side of life .

    Dont let him beat you mate as i will have to come up and show you how its done .Have you discounted midday as this is when i see some really nice bucks in undisturbed areas .Its easy to think of deer as first and last light movers but you know yourself theres always an exception .

    Further investigation would say i again spelt it wrong and it should be 'eyed' hawk as Jonno pointed out.Never seen one before i must say.

    Been watching a pair of wrens for quite a while at the nest in a wall right beside where we are working and in a section of wall that is doomed. After they are gone ,we are to demolish and rebuild it as its dangerous .Happene to be on first break when they started to leave ,first one of its own accord followed by another but the remaining three had to be lured out by the adluts later in the day .The old birds constantly visited the nest but with no food and perched just a bit away until eventually they all flew . the first to fly at 10.20 am Hes out ! Then another that made a full6 me

    Took a mate out last evening that has, in the past showed me some very good sport of one kind or another including a very good fallow buck . Went to a place that i know holds a good buck and a few elusive munties.Stopped on the way to watch a decent buck near another piece of ground i have but not on it Walked through the tall crops at our destination very slowly as its easy to miss a buck when the crops are like this.Not a thing until i glassed a patch of rough beside a field of barley and spotted a muntie although at the range we were it was unclear as to the sex as it was ass on .

    Years ago when i was a lot younger we,as a family visited my grandparents in Wales ,Amroth to be precise for a holiday.My kid sister was in a pram one evening out on a patio in full veiw of everyone having a bbq when a fox came up a hedge towards her .My sister was stirring and softly crying as babies do when first waking ,probably sounding a bit lamb like .The fox ran and jumped onto the pram but luckily my uncle saw it and shouted it away .Animals react to sounds and the fox even more so being an oportunist .I believe this account as ive seen urban foxes being handfed and losing all respect

    Saturday evening saw me on a place local to me where the deer come and go really as there is a wooded bank nearby that they spend most of their time in or around but is unfortunately not my ground ,yet .My permission here at the moment comprises two farms back to back with no woodland to speak of but lovely meadows which hold as long as disturbance is kept down .The farmers on both land want the deer kept tight so thats what i do .Bumped a buck down the bottem of the first farm on a water meadow that ran off barking for all the world to hear !Never mind as there was plenty more groung to c

    Much better design than the forward climb mate .Had some awkward ones in recent years that would make an older man think twice Good shooting that man ,i suppose his hearing is too far gone to worry about a silencer though
  23. Squirrel_Basher
    Yes mate .Had he lived to see this wet spell i think that would of gone.
  24. Squirrel_Basher
    Agree with all the above John which is a change of late
