I decided on a visit to a place that rarely holds a good head ,it being a main dog walking area for a nearby town but this evening i got lucky .The deer are notoriously hard to stalk as they get the runaround from anyone with the right dog if you know what i mean .I clocked a buck and doe at a good range and had plenty of time to plan a stalk as they looked content to browse the grasses in the, as yet uncut field .Crawling through waist high grass with only the occasional glimpse of your quarry is one of the things i enjoy ,the sun was shining ,butterflies flitted and the birds sang .Lowering the long bipod at about 150 yds had the doe a bit twitchy as she picked out the sound despite me being very slow in doing so but a short wait saw her relaxed again .Crawled forward again to a patch of slightly lower grass that would give me room to set up .That done ,i watched for a while through the scope until he was perfectly broadside and dropped him at maybe 140 yds through the chest .He fell backwards ,sometimes a sign that all was not good but inspection showed a neat heart shot and stone dead .

A good buck for the area and well pleased with the shot.

      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

      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
