Just popped out seeing as the rut is in swing to see if anything was chasing about.
Spotted a kid so tried a call thinking mother wont be far away but nothing responded so moved to another spot and again nothing.
Next spot nothing again but when I moved on and neared some bracken a young buck jumped out right in front of me , ran and stopped 15 yds away . A quick boiler room shot and he took off , I was thinking surely I never missed but as he was running off I could see blood spraying from his flank.
Couldnt believe he made 100 yds before dropping with a perfect lung shot.
