Well as the day was cancelled I shot a fox this morning and stalked a 5 pointer only to leave it hopefully for my client tomorrow morning.

Tonight after doing a dsc2 stalk (on paper from one shot earlier this week) i was ready to get out again.

I had a deer carcass to deliver to one of my permissions to the farmer for 1 of his friends.

We had put up a seat there last month so I would go sit in it for a fox or something (I had decided to shoot any buck which appeared tonight or I may never get 1).

I was up it for about 7.30 and Breeze sat still below me.

The 6.5 was loaded with the 156gr rn's I use in the summer for close range bucks.

After about 20 mins there was movement ahead a buck was chasing a yearling doe all over they eventually ran towards me stopping about 80m's away to catch their breath.

Having already lit the reticule I centred the dot at the back of the bucks neck half way up, and squeezed the trigger.

He fell instantly.

He was a beauty.

Thanks for the support lads and lasses.

I suppose some will always look in and the green eyed monster has to show its self.

A few deer moving this morning.

Thats it now for a day or two I have maintenence work to carry out on the high seats and rides.(Still in the office but slightly different work and the money for me to do this (spray/cut) the rides has to come from somewhere).

Shame in a way as if I carry on this way I would reach 50 bucks in x2 months, still only need 6 and i'm busy again at the month end so not impossible.

11 deer for 100 this year.

Anyway this mornings kill.

Well done will.

      Your Most Memorable Hunt: Share Your Stories!
      By Gunners Review
      Hey Hunting Life Community,
      I'm a professional hunter or a team member from Gunners' Review, and I'm excited to join this passionate group of hunters!
      I’d love to hear about your most unforgettable hunting experiences. Whether it was your first big game, a hunt with an unexpected twist, or a day that taught you something new, share your stories with us!
      Here are a few prompts:
      What made your hunt memorable? Any unexpected challenges? Gear or techniques that helped you succeed? Lessons learned or tips for others? To start, my most unforgettable hunt was in the rugged mountains of Colorado, where I tracked a massive elk through dense forest and steep terrain. The highlight was successfully using my GPS and spotting scope to locate and approach the elk without being detected. My trusty .30-06 Springfield rifle, paired with a Leupold scope, ensured a clean and ethical shot. The thrill of the chase and the satisfaction of a well-executed hunt made it an experience I'll never forget.
      Can't wait to hear your stories and learn from your adventures!
      Happy hunting,
      Team Member

      Deer Hunting With Dogs. Opinions?
      By amaanesen
      Hello!
      I'd love to learn more people's opinions on deer hunting using dogs, as it's a very controversial topic in the hunting world. I've only ever used dogs for grouse and waterfowl hunting, but many hunters also use for deer. I write a little hunting blog on the side for fun (this is not an ad, there is no ad/affiliate on the blog but let me know if I can't link!) and I really want to write about the dog hunting controversy.
      What are your opinions? For or against, why, why not etc? No judgement, just trying to get the general hunting population's opinions!
      God Bless!

      Trip last Saturday to West Sussex in that evil storm,flooded roads,crazy winds .
      The usual warm welcome and off out to be dropped in a high seat.3o mins later saw a little white bum ,bins  up it's a  Roe buck Doe and fawn .
      Shot the fawn ,nice size Doe and waited but the other  Doe didn't return to her fawn .Green out ,healthy gralloch .
      Back to the Bothy, fawn in the chilled and bald bloke to local for a nice nosh.
      5am already up ,tea and biscuits meet the other guests and out .Unsuccessful hour in a different seat and off on foot to see a massive buck 10m away. Took the heart shot ,he ran and dropped. This can't be right he was massive, this is a spiker. 
      Me tit, scope on 9 not 0 so at 10m he looked huge .Nice clean gralloch, and luckily the guide was with me as he was a fat boy to carry.
      Great weekend, good craic,great friends
