  1. Ratcherman managed a cull buck and a dog fox ...... On climbing into a tower a tawny owl flew out , this is what I found inside.
  2. Just comparing it to the one I discovered last year... A distinct colour difference!
  3. 167 YARDS Martin , you should have stalked closer Show a bit respect Only joking mate , well done
  4. Planned compulsory testing for deer stalkers in Scotland has been scrapped after lobbying led by the UK’s largest shooting organisation, the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) and supported by other land management organisations. The move would have meant the estimated 20,000 people actively involved in deer management in Scotland having to pass a mandatory test.
  5. FTB , you hit the nail on the head . Wireviz , the shot wasnt lucky but very calculated and accurate. Range checked with Leica rangefinder , wind checked with wind meter , all data processed through Exbal and scope dialled in.My mate is a very talented riflemen more than you could ever wish to become. I never said it was stalking because it isnt. The people who always disagree with these shots are always the ones who do not have the ability or equipment. I wouldnt take this shot for the above reason . Just as well our snipers in Afghanistan arent afraid of shooting at distance
  6. The phone rang last night , my mate wanting to have a look around for a shot. We arrived at his ground only to spot a buck on his travels , through a hedgerow up the side of a fence and disappear into the next wood. We decided to lay in wait hoping that he would put in an appearance at some time. At around 8.30 I spied a doe emerge some 340yards away and proceed to feed for 5 minutes or so. I told my mate to get ready in case the buck emerged. A minute or so later and he did. Waiting til he turned broadside my mate neck shot him at 340 yards checked on the Leica. Now befo
  7. Very unusual buck mate . Stalking is far too easy down there I suggest you take up something more challenging ...
  8. Congratulations on your 1st 6 pointer , many more to come
  9. Nice shot mate , it is a very satisfying feeling. I also have to hold over and shot a hare in the head a couple of weeks ago at 277 yards with my .243 holding over 10 inches. Long range shooting is very satisfying but you need all the gear. My mate is into long range stuff and has just had a custom .243 made . He had 2 shots the other night dialling in and shot 2 hares (1st shot kills ) at 500 yds and 470 yds both ranged with the Leicas. Keep at it mate !!!
  10. Ive also got Levels 1 & 2 and had them for years ...
  11. Hi V-max Im not so bad mate but the buck season has been awful so far. Hoping it will improve in MAY ...
  12. My mate invited me to have a look up his new ground in Dumfries and Galloway at the weekend.Saturday evening we lay out on the edge of some forestry.... View to the right .... View to the left .... A nice 6 pointer emerged ....

  14. Patience is a virtue mate and it certainly pays off
  15. Nice one lads , at least youre seeing bucks. I have only seen 2 since the start of the season
  16. Well Fox dropper ,Martin and Local Ive eventually broke my duck on the bucks After about 30 to 40 hours in the field and seeing numerous does and not a single buck I eventually succeeded last night .... Followed shortly afterwards by this vixen .... And this little chap was in a trap !! Hopefully more will follow !!!
  17. Glad someones getting bucks , I havent even seen one yet
  18. Hi mate, its slowed down a hell of a lot for us. Not seeing any foxes at all but then again Ive stopped lamping now and concentrating on stalking. Might get a phone call if lambs are being killed but nothing yet !!
