WELL HERE I GO.

WENT OUT STALKING FALLOW DEER FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER YESTERDAY AND IM STILL AMAZED WITH WHAT HAPPEND. WE WENT OUT AROUND 7AM JUST BEFORE IT GOT LIGHT MY MENTOR TOLD ME TO GO DOWN THE EDGE OF A FIELD ABOUT A HUNDRED YARDS FROM HIM AND HE STAYED WHERE HE WAS AT A GOOD VANTAGE POINT, ANYWAY I MAKE MY WAY DOWN HE WAVES HIS MOBILE PHONE TO ME TO MAKE SURE IVE GOT MINE TO KEEP IN CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER I WAVE MINE BACK SO OFF I GO ON MY WAY I JUST GET TO MY SPOT WHEN I HERE A SHOT THEN ANOTHER IM THINKING OH GREAT IM NOT GETTING ANY ACTION GWYNS GOT ONE THERE WONT BE A SHOT FOR ME. BUT THEN I THINK HANG ON WE'VE GOT A DEER SO I RING HIM HE ANSWERS CHRIS GET UP HERE MATE IVE HAD 2 BUT YOU MIGHT GET A SHOT AT ONE AROUND THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN AS THEY ARE MAKING THEIR WAY ROUND BUT HURRY UP! SO I MAKE MY WAY BACK UP MEET UP WITH GWYN, THEY'RE DOWN THERE POINTING DOWN OVER A RIDGE OK SO I MAKE MY WAY DOWN LAY DOWN, SET THE BIPOD UP, FLICKED THE SAFTY OVER AND POPPED MY HEAD OVER THE EDGE. THEY WERE'NT THERE? OK SO I WENT A COUPLE MORE YARDS TO THE LEFT AGAIN LOOKED OVER, THERE THAY ARE! THERE WHERE 4 ALL LOOKING UP AT ME OK AS THIS WAS MY FIRST I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS A GOOD ONE THE SHOT WAS SAFE ABOUT 130 YARDS AND IF SOMETHING DID GO WRONG IT WAS GOING IN THE GROUND I PICKED THE BIGGEST ONE THERE PUT THE SHOT IN THE HEART AREA AND DOWN SHE WENT. NOW BEING NEW TO THIS I WASNT EXPECTING ANYTHING MORE THAN WHAT I HAD BUT I GOT ALOT MORE. THERE WERE 3 LEFT STILL LOOKING BACK.SAME SHOT SAME PLACE NUMBER 2 IN THE BAG.

Well done mate,but,and I don't want to pi55 on anyones parade,but,you might of been a bit quick to take the safety off,unless of course you forgot to say that you put it back on when you moved about.Sorry......Martin.

 

p.s. it is easy done when the adrenilin is pumping.
