Blood trail

[john robbo 30]

I had a client here this week who shot a few bucks.

I only captured a little on video.

He asked I wouldn't show his progress so I will honour his decision.(which is why i've not been posting).(that and the long hours).

But on the video I did take I had a very different camera angle from the shooter so captured some rare footage.

This is the strike.

 

 

These are the best stills seconds after the strike.

Good pics but tell me something John ,do you have a management plan at all because from what we see week after week you shoot beasts across the board with some youngsters in fine body weight being taken before their time ,or is it a case of so many deer about you shoot what you come across .Not a dig mate just curious .

All the land I shoot is left to me to decide what is taken. We also get many 6 point yearling heads so what can you leave they are all good.

Never has any animal been left to do better next year.

I do not work like that rather than shoot any beast in a given area. I also believe in taking a cross section of animals and did this before I went pro.

Animals in large arable areas range from month to month and are rarely seen in the same area year after year.

Trophy fees sort out the plan, most cannot or wont pay for the big lads so he is saved only because of the price on his head.

Right man in right place with enough cash and hes on the wall.

Yorkshire is plauged with dog men and they desimate a cull plan so its pointless.

I have been honest here answering an honest question, please respect this.

A few more shots from last week.

Big old boy.was a medal last year.

 

 

 

6 pointer yearling

 

 

and another.

 

4 point in velvet

 

Another old buck

 

 

who was an 8 pointer

 

So as you see old young and middleaged all of which very healthy and good body weights.

The first photo that buck will weigh 45-50 lb larder weight.

Barry I am not going to defend myself, do you honestly think if it was dodgy a client would take the shot anyway??

would you if asked to take a shot??

grow up man

[john robbo 30]

MONEY.....MONEY.....MONEY.

Some one else with a degree, yes its about money I make my living from deer dying everyday. Aren't you the clever one.

No dead deer I might have to work in a factory or perhaps wash cars for a living. many of my clients wish they worked in my office. If charging people to do what they want to do and at the same time doing what the landowners want(reducing the deer) why is that wrong???????????????

Instead I guide clients by the 100 and do very well thanks.

regards John

Nice pictures John and a reaction i have seen many times to a heart lung shot normally the rest of my deer at the end of the clip will run like a greyhound for a 30-40 mtr Death run.

Great pics, dont waste your time defending what you do, im sure that given the choice of career, others would jump at the chance to have your job and im sure they would not be as selective when it was a matter of putting food on the table.

I respect your honesty mate and thought you would do as you outlined .Cull plans and management schemes are fairy tales in my eyes too as i feel there is no such thing that is workable where roe are concerned.Everyone i know is hard on the bucks no matter what appears and still there are the same amount the following year.Management schemes would only work in an enclosed ,fenced area where ages were known and sex ratios worked out .Many claim to know what is about but the truth is far from that in reality .Territories are set up but broken as the rut arrives and larger bucks will depose a smaller and so on .I m fully with you in taking what you see [if the moneys right ,lol]

Luckily we dont have the dog men about us as you do but even without them a plan is in the main unworkable .

Some great action stills there John. Keep them coming.

This guy is being upfront about what he does you have to respect him for that,and he is trying to make a living out of it.
