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???

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

Hi Von your buck dose look medal class bronze area pending weight & i think it while be worth a try. As for the rut i have just seen first signs of it saturday night when i found this young buck with two young does & he mounted 1 of them twice. I have to shoot them as they come in on this farm & i genrally get young over spill but have had crackes too. This is my 4th of this year on this farm & i know of the young does that came in on may. I saw signs of the rut last year in the same field on the 20th of july 08 & shot a cracker. Here is a couple pics of my young buck i got 32m neck shot 28lb clean.

& the buck i got last year on the 20th which was rutting.

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!!!!

great looking beast good head always makes your heart beat faster when you see a quality animal well done
