deer stalking this morning


Recommended Posts

Well as ever the morning started out far to early......3:40 Am. Then the long drive to the stalking ground, We waited for the daylight to break and it was very frosty, there were not many deer showing, apart from an old rutting buck with a poor head so we let him be...No joy on the first patch of ground,

So we started of to the second part of the permission. Seeing two does how in turn heard the crunches of us on the frosty grass.

Then we saw a young sorel buck laying under a tree with nothing to bother him i ranged him at 226 yards the air was still and i gently squeezed of the round hitting him square on the neck were i had the cross hairs.........he keeled over not knowing what hit him,

my friend stalked another bit and saw nothing until i pointed out a pricket at 304 yards which he squeezed of a round with his 6.5x55 head shot keeled over dead..............

what a great morning then the long drag home as i'm just showered now and posting this up of the days events........ ;)

Great shooting lads :) The buck in your pic looking in cracking condition. Fair old drag back... bet that first brew didn't touch the sides. What loads / ammo was your mate with the 6.5 shooting if you don't mind me asking.

 

Cheers
