FOXHUNTER 5,021 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 My mate wanted to try his new .308 out,so I suggested a look out for an early morning buck.............. As we were walking up the edge of a wood a buck & doe appeared in the field heading straight towards us,so my mate dropped the buck but the doe would not leave its side.............I walked straight up to her and she just looked at me and ran a few circles around me......... Then I tried my luck on a new spot...............spied a young buck in some really thick scrub land and managed to take him..................not in very good condition,covered in lice and ticks, better off being culled!! Not a bad start to the buck season.......hope it continues!! Quote Link to post
Guest Ash Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Looks like they were both poor in condision all the average bucks up here are clean and down your way they should be clean earlier we always shoot bucks that are still in velet at this time usally means very young are they aint done well over the winter. What dose you mate think of his 308 ? why that calibre. Quote Link to post
