My roebuck from somerset

[firthy 54]

Went up to see Chris Rodgers in thetford to get my heads scored.

1st buck I shot back in June on my 1st morning didn't make the grade scoring 99.48 cic

2nd buck from second morning made 122.03 scoring a silver medal I'm absolutely chuffed to bits.

once again big thanks to Matt for having me down.

Tis a nice uniform head mate .How much did they charge to score them .

[firthy 54]

was just £35 for the one that made medal the other was free of charge. They changed the drying period from 90 to 30 as they reckon it didn't make much difference in weight change. you been out much?

This dry weather has altered behaviour to the extreme mate .Places that were a dead cert now have very few or no deer on them .Seeing more with the thermal in unusual places than I'd expect .Went to a place yesterday evening that is usually good for a buck or two but never saw any .Spotted two does on another farm but no buck .Hopefully the rut will be better .I'm down Matt's Saturday so have to see.

sounds like how it was when I 1st came down that time when it seemed like all the deer had migrated lol you started seeing any rutting activity at all? fingers crossed ya can grass a few with Matt.
