arveyboy 0 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 we headed out this morning at about 6 30 to try for a muntjac. it was a cold morning and there was a slight mist which was annoying . anyway 5 minutes in we spotted two on the corner of a wood about 300 yards away so we slowly stalked up with the wind in our favour. one of the does disappeared into the hedgerow but the other stayed around so i set up the bipod at about 120 yards away and took it with a hear/lung shot. it dropped on the spot and i breathed a sigh of relief. im still buzzing from it and there are currently two haunches roasting in the oven. don't blame me for the skinning. i know its shoddy work but i had to do it myself and its my first time. be gentle Quote Link to post

arveyboy 0 Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 well the roast venison haunches last night were fantastic. i've had venison before but it has a really rich taste to it. very tasty. i guess it would have been even nicer if i'd let it hang for a couple of days but i had no choice as im off to uni today. cheers for all the replies and yes im pretty sure i've got the bug.
