Nice buck shot

[john robbo 30]

Had this youth lined up a few times things not right so just happy to film him.

Today things were different and he was in the right place at the wrong time.

102m's ranged and if you look behind him you can see the bullets exit on the tree stump.

I told the client to pin him as there is a big drop within the tree line and I didn't want to have a runner go over the top.

He was over the bank having gone about 12m's with both front legs broken and very dead.

What a carry out 45lb clean.

Certainly put a smile on the clients face. Is it the pic or do the antlers have a very narrow span - looks like a fine animal.

alot of our heads lack span.

Maybe im missing something or maybe its just local dialect but if i was told to pin an animal it would mean to me that a instant ,on the spot kill was neaded .Neck shot maybe which clearly didnt happen as he ran on into the drop off .If ive got things wrong then sorry but thats the way i see it mate .

Pinning a deer is to shoot it through the front shoulders there for making sure it dose not travel from the spot even if it doesn't die right off .Most roe will still wheel barrow a bit but not much. The reason for this is they have floating shoulders (no socket) This still gives them some movement. Nice shot and well done to the client.

Pinning a deer as above.

Through both front legs and often withers.

Causes bullet to expand instantly and breaks both legs causing instant death.

Damages a little meat but with soft points this is limited and a prefered shot at dusk especially on Sika.

...................and this is in the name of best practice i take it .The more i hear about the manual you chaps regard as the bible ,the more i want to do things the way i was taught.Shooting a beast through the front legs so it dosnt kill it outright but dosnt go on too far ,absolutely diabolical and shows a distinct lack of disregard for the quarry and greed on the part of the rifle holder shooting in low light.If i was told to 'pin' a deer like this the answer would be f**k off . There are no major organs in that part for a kill which makes this unnacceptable to me .
