The rifle is a cz bruno 550 with 3.5,10,50 simmons white tail classics its not the dearest set up but im happy with it and its a very acurate rifle i have a 22 bruno aswell which i think is another good cheap gun

243 mate

[Guest Frank]

Great caliber for roe.

 

Tip, you probably know this, but from what my mates use and from my experince with these bullets from my freinds, the Nosler ballistic tip bullet, is DEADLY

 

Very humane.

It's thought off but it's knowen that the kid's of any deer will pine off to nothing or be come an orphane & not do well.Im not sure but i was told it was law to kill the kid's as well but law's change.A doe will proberly still have milk yet will dry up very soon so they need there mother till least end of febuary before they can be indipendint.Im not want to get on to any 1 just thinking of the kid's welfair.

One thing i forgot to tell everyone is that this is one of the offspring deer ive been wacthing for the past six month thats why i said i left the other for another time i see no reason in killing deer just because you have another chance in front of you one is enough for me , i know theres a few people who'll kill as many as they can but a true stalker would settle for the one unless damage was being caused

Hello David sorry for any bother with my question's.I cover a wee bit of ground & have a cull to be done & the female is the 1 you realy need to clamp down on for deer management or health can suffer.I whatch my doe's through summer then work out a cull with brother friend's etc as i enjoy taking people out as iv shot plenty.I need to take my chances as they come to reach my target & some of them are doe's with kid's & in my area my deer are very good quality so normaly twin's whitch is normal with healthy roe i have odd triplet's & some of last year's in this cull to.Roe deer can explode in number's over a couple of year's here as a high majority of kid's survive & i feel they are slightly to high on my ground so i hit the doe's hard & 10/11month old buck's hard to take pressure of my ground.Sorry for any trouble keep the pic's comming
