Bucks questing

[john robbo 30]

As some will know I have cut back on the stalking now for 2 weeks to ready my shoot for the poults.(they start arriving tomorrow).

Been riding around during the day and waiting for foxes in the mornings and evenings.

Seeing many bucks now just walking about at any time of day, crossing wheat fields and showing the does some interest. There is something stirring i'm sure.

Also suddenly there are more of last years bucks about, bucks which I have never seen.

Due partly I think to the rape getting swathed.

They will be flat out combining at the weekend/ next week, if the weather is warm.

I will stick my neck out and say it could be a good rut this year if the weather is warm.

I agree John They have started cutting barley around here but so far nothing on the shoot. I think the rape will go in the next week so they may start showing up in larger numbers then. The reds are using it at the moment and have all but dissappared

I have seen some real nice bucks and most are close to does moveing when they do but still keeping on the edges. Not long here i think by next weekend we should see a bit of rutting.

How about this we shot x2 foxes yesterday evening.

He head shot the cub at 110m's in uncut grass blowing the jaw off it and shooting it running off.

The vixen then showed up but twigged us she ran off and he shot her running up the tram line at about 120m's great shooting.

 

 

then to top off he has asked me to go to finland in november as his guest to shoot whitetail deer on friday, driven moose w. t. deer and boar on sat sun then on monday morning go on a capercallie shoot.

It gets better, i can take 3-4 mates, so mates asked 5 of us are flying to Helsinki on the 10th Nov.
