  1. They are stalking sticks from Bushwear mate. I dont use a dog when stalking mate , I have only ever needed the use of a dog once when the deer I had shot fell in some very dense cover. On this particular day , the stalker we were with had his trained deer dog with him so there wouldnt have been a problem.
  2. As Baldie says they all do the job , but if you get a .243 you can also shoot deer in England. Its handy when you bump into both on your rounds
  3. I travelled up to my mates on Friday afternoon as we were going sika stalking on saturday. We ended up having a look about with the lamp at the back of his house, it was a full moon and hard frost ,not the best of conditions but my mate managed to shoot a nice vixen , turned out to be the only fox we saw. Next morning saw us up at 6am to travel to our stalking destination , very frosty morning......... I set off stalking a large forestry block, it was like walking on eggshells I never saw any deer until I eventually stalked to a lovely clear ride where the sun was hitti
  4. Same old shit as usual .............could your dog do that job these lads done in one night??? I dont think so !!

  6. What a brilliant night , I am still dreaming that one day I will get into double figures It appears that Ireland is full of charlies, lucky men !!!!
  7. The weekend..................... .
  8. Congratulations on your 1st roe but whoever was supervising you should have waited for a better shot , ideally waiting til the beast turned broadside and delivering a heart /lung shot. Not taking anything away from a good shot but it is not the sort of shot you should be taking for your 1st . Well done anyway , have you now got the bug???
  9. Is that your local ground you were on about mate , looks very nice. Well done, hope it continues
