von 0 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) 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. What a morning, will be out tomorow to try again!!!! Edited August 1, 2009 by von Quote Link to post

6pointer 1 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hey VON, thats a cracker of a beast.Did you know he was on your ground???? I always have slight feelings of guilt when the time comes to take out a buck that ive been watching for some months or even years,but we should all treat ourselves to a trophy now and again do you concider him as a good or average buck for your area??? Have you had much succes with the call before??? rgds 6 Quote Link to post
