Boxing day

[FOXHUNTER 5,020]

I went out for a stalk yesterday afternoon to a place I havent been to for a while.On arrival I was immediately aware of the amount of slots but didnt hold much hope due to the very noisy crunchy snow.

I continued right to the boundary edge after spooking 2 roe already. As I approached a steep bank that descended to the river a roe burst from cover not 20 yards from me . I quickly ran to the edge of the banking and saw it disappear round the corner so I ran to the highest piece of ground and spied her approaching up a hawthorn hedge . There was only one possible place for a shot and that was a space between 2 hawthorn bushes. I followed her on my sticks and as if she was obeying my thought she stopped in the gap . She was facing away from me and the only shot on was the back of her head.I steadied myself on the sticks and sent a round which knocked her straight over . I was very pleased with the shot and having to overcome the terrible conditions underfoot.

 

 

Its blizzarding here right now so looks like more fun in the snow !!!

Good shot mate, just got back on the computer after a bit of a break. Snow and frost gone for the moment so will be getting out while the conditions are easier.
