    Nice animals both - was the NZ a free range animal or from private ground?

    Very interesting to hear - of course it must be difficult to prove the impact of wolf (and lynx?) on game populations - do they impact any species more than others (roe, red or boar)?
  3. Boghossian
    Very interesting - do you normally do 2-3 drives a day or 9-10 shorter drives like I have seen in Poland. I imagine the biggest boar are shot at night over feeders - do you hunt by moonlight (or lamp light...)? I will contact you when it comes time to come hunt in Romania!

    nice animal - did you weigh it?

    These are very high quality trophies - very nice Carpathian red deer. It is nice to hear about real wilderness hunting in Europe, not just fenced areas. Do you feed the stags in the winter? The fallow is also a beauty - much better than the bucks we see in the majority of England. I hope you are offered better rates than the tourist hunters - hunting in Romania is very expensive by the looks of things!

    Nice menil colour for a winter doe.

    Nice story. Fallow can be so unpredictable, one minute dissapearing like ghosts through the trees and the next, the same group will let you shoot a few of them before decamping. Is your tripod a camera tripod? After many years of avoiding all supports, I've started stalking with bipod sticks (B&Q version) again.

    You'll find that fallow liver is delicious - just not during the rut. They even change colour during the rut and look more pink rather than dark red. Same buck in August would taste much better. His meat will also taste strong, though not as bad as the liver.

    No more illegal than selling or buying a hunting knife!
  11. Boghossian
    At this time of year with no ground cover, they will come out very early and very late so those are your best chances to intercept them. Otherwise some people stick a bale of hay in a convenient location.

    All good tips - remember to tell him how many you are actually seeing. If he doesn't keep a look out for them, he will believe there are only 'one or two about' which means there are probably dozens he is unaware of. If all else fails, cash. Or at least offer to pay him for the dealer value of any venison you shoot.

    Nice buck indeed - is he worth measuring? What time do you expect most bucks to come out? I always wonder what time to start stalking on the basis that you bump into them at the oddest times sometimes. Middle of the afternoon even.

    Nice shooting Martin! Bet you'll be glad when they've finished moulting, that thing will have put hair everywhere... Apparently too much oilseed rape can make a roe deer go blind but it is common to see them in rape fields and they sure bugger off fast enough!

    How many points on the antlers (if Male) G)How many Calfs its carrying (if Female) H)Likelyhood of TICs or Bott fly I am sure the more experienced guys on here can add a few more?????? Hi mate, can you tell us how to determine how many foetuses and likelihood of ticks by looking at the tracks? Thanks G

    These are some fantastic trophies, congratulations! You can understand why people will first check if they are park heads. Out of interest, can you tell us which organisation you book through? Finally - do you know the body weights for those reds?
  17. Boghossian
    Weighs just under 600gms apparently.
  18. Boghossian
    Good point - do you prefer head or neck?
  19. Boghossian
    Nice one, what part of the country is this? Looks in good nick - did you weigh it? G
  20. Boghossian
    Nice one, I too will impose myself in October for a shot at the stags, the easier the better!
  21. Boghossian
    Any comments on a Land Rover Freelander?
  22. Boghossian
    Thanks for the tips, I don't think I'll be going crazy with the extreme off-roading, but I would like to get deeper into the woods for carcass retrieval etc. Dragging a couple fallow bucks back to the tarmac can be a serious pain!
  23. Boghossian
    How do these compare in terms of mpg?
  24. Boghossian
    sorry double post!

    Hi guys I'm looking to get my first (used) 4x4, need something economical and not huge. I live in London so all shooting involves a good bit on the motorway before I hit any mud rides - fuel economy is pretty important. I don't have a family yet, or any dogs, so I don't need masses of space for dog cages etc. but will need to fit a carcass tray Thinking of getting either a Nissan Terrano or Suzuki Grand Vitara. Any advice or suggestions welcome!
