november 2 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 So I moved one of our portable stands to a new location, hoping to get a few foxes along the ditch around 7pm movement in the far corner between corn and ditch, through my bino I could see it was a roebuck- As roebuck season ends 15th of October I decided, I was going to take it. So I switched binos with rifle and as soon as the buck presented its broadside I shot. Dropped immediately. I reckon it is in the 4-6year old area, tendency towards 4 ... what do you think?

waidmann 105 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 i would tend towards 3-4,with the ears seeming big in relation to head and the mass of the antlers being further up. only a guess from a photo mind. good to see that you have put up a pic of the teeth( the first pre molar being the imortant one 1mm erosion =1 jear after adult teeth if that is any help). a good end of season buck bud,well done. atb and good luck with charlie Quote Link to post

Fidgety 8 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 What sight have you got on that rifle? Quote Link to post
november 2 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 What sight have you got on that rifle? It is an EOTech 552, I usually only put it on the rifle if I have to shoot quickly or short distance (max 70meters). I wounded the buck with my first shot as the bullet has been somehow deflected (most of it went into the shoulder of the opposite side, some fragments ripped open the stomach area), so I gave it a few hours to let the traumatic fever set in and then tracked it. For tracking wounded game and the usually short distances and snapshots I found the EOTech to be perfect. In any way better than the 3-12x56 scope I usually use on that rifle. If tracking wounded game in the brush I usually use my Glock though... Quote Link to post
