    Its a shame you could not have left him until he was in hard antler! he's a cracker. It would have been worth while getting a measure on him going by the length of his brow tines and body weight you explained. Big boy for the borders!

    Very Protective Doe A friend of mine was out walking his dog the other week and from nowwhere came a doe charging and trying to butt his dog. As you can see from the video captured by using his phone ( which i apoligise is not the best quality) when some deer have got young they can be very protective.

    Shot a few deer this week here in the Scottish Borders, some really thin yearlings etc, One really good fat doe though. Minus 15-20 here in the borders last night on top of all the snow etc. This has got to start having a profound effect on deer populations etc. How is the rest of the country fairing? And what condition are the deer in?

    Out stalking today with mates, one of them totaly knackered his knee crossing a fence, there was no way we could move him "total agony" good job one of the lads with us is in the mountain rescue and organised the evacuation. The problem was with our location and also snow and the fact my injured mate had been lying for at least an hour in minus conditions,used the GPS on my phone to give cordinates to emergancy services after an hour or so things were going rapidly down hill for him. A couple of us had to go to main road and pick up Paramedics, after assessment and Morphine through itruvenous

    Guys in relation to the video you have to remember that the Galpagos Islands has its own unique ecologicol ecosystem, nowhere on this earth will you find the animals present on the islands anywhere else " Darwins giant tortoise etc" so an introduced species by man like feral goats needs to be eradicated quickly before disease / interbreeding etc happens, if thats from a helicopter with sharp shooters so be it! As per Scotland i think the DCS / SNH will think twice before carrying out the slaughter of Red Deer (Glenfeshie Estate) by helicopter, the bad publicity they recieved afterwards nev

    Anybody any news of the Sika rut starting? Always been told it kicks off with the first frost, can't be long now?

    Ali mac is right, about five years ago i lost almost 100 poults to Gos in two weeks , (THE ULTIMATE KILLNG MACHINE) when it comes to Pheasants, the worst case scenario when it comes to Gos kills on poults is the stress on the birds that survive, not only did i lose roughly a hundread poults i had to treat them from cocidoses their after. I know now when i enter a pen if a Gos has been, you will not hardly see a bird and when you start looking they have the fear off death in them, i have even had to pull poults out of rabbit holes that have been trying to hide from the Gos.

    My mate " sako243" shot a Roe Buck Friday past, looking at the bucks head and noticed that it had been in a scrap, cuts above the eye's etc, it was then i noticed stuck in between the cornets small white thing sticking up, i proceded to pull it out and found it to be a tip of another bucks tine that had broken off, obvisly after a fight with the other buck. Tough bugger's or what?

    No never knew he was on the ground, the ground that neighbours me is not managed so i suspect that the doe has pulled him from their. He is really good buck for the area and yes i have been quite lucky with "Buttolo" seem to pull something each year i have tried, out this morning and called a doe and two kids' within twenty feet of me. Exiting stuff never had a gun just observing what was happening on the peice of groung i was on. Cheers Von

    Went out this morning after friend phoned me yesterday saying possible that rut has started up here in Scotland, went to a new piece of ground and got in position on edge of grass field gave one " Peep" on Butolo and to my left a Doe come's running out of barley field with Buck in hot pursuit, both jumped fence and into the field i was positioned, the doe must have laid up her young in the wood to the right of the field, she was on a mission! Buck stopped nice broadside shot into the engine room aprox 90 yards. It was not until i approached the Buck that i observed how good a beast he was.
