I haven’t seen him before , and as it was next to the edge of the shoot I might not see him again so , he had it . I reckon it will medal . That’s a cracker, I’m obsessed with them, probably because we don’t have them up here, a few weeks ago when I was in Lincolnshire they were everywhere, the 2 lads I was out with don’t shoot them, I couldn’t get my head around that 1 1 Quote Link to post

Stavross 14,583 Posted September 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 It’s on my list of hunting experiences for the next 12 months, an animal as fine as that would be nice but to be honest I be happy with any, everyone I know who has eaten it has said it’s the finest venison around Quote Link to post

A young fallow takes a bit of beating. I’ve not tried any but there are those who reckon CWD to be the best venison . Quote Link to post

Born Hunter 17,733 Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 I don’t much read this thread but here’s a little contribution now I’m busy. This bitch is 9 months this week and I had no intention of entering her until December tbh but she’s been out with me most mornings now for the last two weeks. She’s a f***ing angel and I can’t wait till next season when we’ll have a steady season behind us and I can Chuck it at her! She’s doing so well I expect she’ll be in the beating line with me later this month being allowed to do carefully chosen spots and no doubt she’ll continue to impress. Dogging in is pretty quiet here so far. 7 Quote Link to post
FOXHUNTER 5,021 Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Well its 1st October and start of the season so I popped out with the little dog to try for a pheasant. Typical nothing about , I only lifted one ,a beautiful Black cock which took me by surprise with the gun not shouldered properly I managed to bring it down but unfortunately it was a strong runner and although I searched for it alas I never picked it Nice to be out and the dog enjoyed it even though I only managed a single bunny Hopefully a few more about next time 5 Quote Link to post
