A good days stalking.

[mj robson 8]

Well guys I was out with a client after some good bucks I've spotted recently, starting at daybreak this morning. We went to a wood where I knew there was a good buck working and sure enough as soon as it got light we spotted him going back into the wood! Typical of those big old bucks! We then stalked down into another wood nearby and onto a buck I'd seen last week, he was out with 5 others in the middle of a setaside strip catching a few rays.

 

 

Then this evening we went to another rape field nearby and took this buck at 17:00.

 

 

We headed back to the wood where we saw the big buck in the morning and there was another big (medal class) buck out feeding on the other side with another 4. We were just in the final part of the stalk and he decided to head back into the wood

So we headed over to sit for the other buck we'd seen in the morning. This was the 4th time I'd seen this buck in a week and I knew he was a good beast. As he was the first into the wood in the morning, true to form, he was the last out at night! We shot him with about another 10 minutes of daylight left.

 

 

 

Cheers,

Mark.

The third one in Mark ,whats the story with the hole?Forgive me if im imagining it!

Some top class heads there mate. Well done for getting out and stalking them. What medal do you predict the largest one to make once dried out? JD

[mj robson 8]

JD,

 

After 48 hours force dried in my boiler room the big buck weighed in at 600g, if it follows the trend of all the big heads I've dried the same way it won't loose any more weight.

 

I've got an old buck that scored 139 hanging on the wall and this one looks to have a bit more volume than that but is 60g lighter. The only thing going against this buck is the lack of span, everything else is good. I'd expect it will make a bottom end gold.

 

Cheers,

Mark.

Some good clean heads ...most of the bigger lads are clean in my area still a few smaller ones very much in velvet as expected ...watched a decent bodied lad at the weekend that has a single spike on his left thats nearly twice the size of his normal antler but hes still not clean ....hopefully meet him in a few weeks ...once again some good heads
