Couple of bucks


Recommended Posts

A couple of bucks recently. One was the fella from a few weeks back that couched right in front of me it wasn’t safe... he was in exactly the same place and did exactly the same thing. This time however there was a massive pile of waste, soiled straw, about 9ft, which was nice and dry from the decent weather. From the top I had the perfect prone shot and this time the back of his head wasn’t so lucky.

It gets dark so late now I was knackered and back at the larder I had a complete brain fart and decided to cape it for my mate Tim, best cape job I’d ever done... only realised when I was cutting the antlers off that a deer with the side of its head missing isn’t much good to mount!

Yesterday evening the weather report had forecast fire and brimstone but it never happened. Up to the estate last minute and I saw a buck skipping through a field of cattle but appearing to slow up after it jumped the fence and entered the treeline. Approaching quietly I saw the buck but there was too much cover in the way and eventually he moved out of sight. Continuing to scan I saw a fox asleep under a tree so took advantage and head shot it. At this the buck moved into a clearing so a quick reload on the straight pull and down he went too.

Nice read, pics and land! :thumbs:

Thanks gents.

Yes Deker, I was pretty lucky to land this place. Nice stalking woodland when the weather is so hot makes anything in the open feel uncomfortable.
