    I was up this morning at 4am and on the ground at 4.30am . I headed for a strip of woodland which is thick with nettles and hawthorns hopeful of a roe buck. Anyway as I stalked around some gorse a fox suddenly appeared not 5 yards from my position walking away from me , but as quick as it appeared it disappeared so I continued stalking hopeful of out witting reynard. I worked my way along the hawthorn covered bank looking for charlie but no sign , as I paused just watching and waiting I couldnt believe my luck when this buck strolled out of the bushes and trotted in my direction ..........

    Both great rifles, me and my mate both use Tikka T3 with T8 mods fitted and have no qualms at all. The price tag on the Tikka is excellent ,a well made and very accurate rifle , you wont be disapointed.

    Continued............................ Then we continued to stalk towards a rough set a side field , Foxdropper spotted another buck , this time though it disappeared into the thick cover. I decided to try and stalk it , very slowly stalking through the cover , the ground underfoot was noisy , no sign of the buck then suddendly I spotted him lying down. It had to be a head shot only as that was all that was visible, anyway I squeezed the trigger and over he went ,when I picked him up I had blown one of his antlers off . What a fantastic couple of days stalking due to t

    Thursday morning saw me setting off down the M1 for that long drive to Wilts , my mate Foxdropper had kindly said I could stalk some of his roebucks 1st evening we went to have a look at a spot where there was some young broad leaves planted , on arrival we spotted a fox mooching about in the evening sunshine so we decided to see if we could stalk it. We got to where the fox was , I got myself ready on my sticks and missed it but on the report of the rifle up jumped another fox and bolted like hell but Foxdropper stopped it for me with a loud shout and this time I managed to knock

    I arrived on the ground at 5am with a cold wind blowing but was still in confident mood . I glassed 2 white caudal patches in a plantation so decided to stalk in closer to see if I could find a buck. Anyway as I arrived where I needed to be I spied a couple of roe walking out the bottom of the plantation , a doe and doe kid. I proceeded a bit further just in case they werent the original deer I had glassed , and I was lucky they werent. I peered over a banking and spotted the 2 roe , a buck and a doe . So I was lucky and the buck was bagged. Poor sod was laden with ticks .
