Lame Cull Buck

[FOXHUNTER 5,020]

I was out again this morning at 4am and what a beautiful morning it was , the sun was shining and it was nice and calm.

 

I bumped into a fox straight away , got my rifle on my sticks and was about to shoot when it turned and disappeared into cover

 

I then crossed a little burn and peered over the fence into the adjoining field and spotted a deer behind the far hedge. On inspection with the bins I confirmed it was a buck but it was lame on its back leg .

 

This is the wound which was swollen ...............

 

 

I duly dispatched the buck and when I inspected the carcasse it was thin and gaunt ..........

 

 

A good cull beast if ever there was one ...........

 

On my way round I spied another 2 does and witnessed a vixen carrying a rabbit back to her cubs , they are there for another day !!

A good buck to take. Poor bugger probably caught it on the top of a barbed wire fence. No doubt those fox's will be a bit more cooperative next time

Well done. It's great to be alive and alone with nature on mornings like that.
