Why on earth would he miss home when he lives in Namibia!
Welcome to the site pal.
theres a thread on another site right now asking whats your favorite deer and why.
Nearly everyone who has had an opinion(and many have shot abroad) has said roe or rutting red stags.
Not to many of them in nambia.

Enjoy the lie-ins
George
might get a few if the foxes leave me birds..

Welcome mate,
You will certainly miss home reading some of the tales on here,
regards john.

John, I hope everything goes well! When you make your pilgrimage to Waynes I hope to have the pleasure of buying you a pint.
Regards, ft
I'll look forward to that mate.

I'm winding down now, then on sunday I finish to go rearing my pheasants, ducks and partridge so apart from an odd outing I will be busy around the release pens and killing as many foxes as I can.
Then I start again for the rut, so I will still pop in from time to time to see how you are all getting on and will begin posting again when I start back with the bucks.
Though i'm keen to see who see's the rut kick off first.
So good luck you lot and keep knocking em down.

I wouldn't hessitate to cull a doe out of season with feet like that unless she had dependants at foot.
Even then it may be for the best.
I always thought it was wet ground but shot 1 on the wolds this year(a yearling doe in the buck season I had seen a month earlier but couldn't get a backstop) on chalk and flint so made me think again.
Regards john.

I would agree with the nature of the wound from your photo.
Maybe just unlucky or you may have a murder buck to take out.
-
Under the eye is that a puncture wound.
And i agree it WAS better culled.
Were any lymph nodes swollen??
-
Quality as usual Mark well done.

I have a job clearing deer off a runway.
The risk assesments are unbelievable.
Anyway i use a moderator on my rifle, (don't normally).
I also use my most powerful rifle with very frangible bullets....7mm rem mag 110gr hp TNT.
This ensures NO runners even with boiler house shots and NO ricochets.
I get paid to be there and per unit so venison is not an issue just a bonus. (H+S is the main priority).
For me to cull it also takes 5 members of their staff to be presant in some form or other just for me to operate. Not cheap at 4.a.m. and double time. (but cheaper in cost and lives than a plane hitting a deer on take off or landing).
-
Think it will be a possible low bronze.
borderline.
A clever photo angle me thinks.
It really isn't that heavy.
Just very nice.

Think with my good run of Bucks I will have to treat myself to a nice buck think one has to now and again to keep things real...
Well done mate.

After leaving my house this morning at 03.35 and after getting back in last night at 23.20 my pillow was barely warmed.
We arrived on the ground about 04.00 it was just nicely light.
We set off to stalk around some large wold corn fields and saw plenty of trade from the recent rain but no deer not even any does.
The wind was still N.E and it was chilly.
After about a mile the sun was well up and the day began to warm.
We looked into a small dale and immediately saw a very large buck walking away from us.
We waited to see if anything else moved......It didn't so we went to the far end skirting around to avoid stinking out the area.
We sat down near where the buck was last seen.
And waited for the morning to unfold before us.
After 3/4's of an hour I decided to go have a look for the buck.
So we walked down into the dale with the wind behind to get right for a return stalk.
On reaching the end I looked into the wheat field and couldn't believe my eyes 60M's off there he was just going into a tram line and he began to walk towards us.
Readying the sticks and rushing the camera I new we would be lucky to get a shot with the standing crop and he WAS down wind though in the bottom there wasn't much.
He did wind us but we were ready. The range checked afterwards 48 yards.
Neck shot I told my client.
The rest is history...

to answer the above 2.
all these bucks have come on the whole from different ground many miles from each other.
i have about 14 farms/estates 12,000 acres ish and the distace from the furthest 2 is 60mile from each other. All this is set within more farmland much of which is not shot for deer beacause of large pheasant shoots so allowing a never ending supply of spill out.
and the clients who dont want posting get the drawn on glasses treatment i ask everbody.
regards john.

Another this morning.

No I was crouched in the grass taking a photo of breeze pointing when he came along.
