john robbo 30 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 After leaving my house this morning at 03.35 and after getting back in last night at 23.20 my pillow was barely warmed. We arrived on the ground about 04.00 it was just nicely light. We set off to stalk around some large wold corn fields and saw plenty of trade from the recent rain but no deer not even any does. The wind was still N.E and it was chilly. After about a mile the sun was well up and the day began to warm. We looked into a small dale and immediately saw a very large buck walking away from us. We waited to see if anything else moved......It didn't so we went to the far end skirting around to avoid stinking out the area. We sat down near where the buck was last seen. And waited for the morning to unfold before us. After 3/4's of an hour I decided to go have a look for the buck. So we walked down into the dale with the wind behind to get right for a return stalk. On reaching the end I looked into the wheat field and couldn't believe my eyes 60M's off there he was just going into a tram line and he began to walk towards us. Readying the sticks and rushing the camera I new we would be lucky to get a shot with the standing crop and he WAS down wind though in the bottom there wasn't much. He did wind us but we were ready. The range checked afterwards 48 yards. Neck shot I told my client. The rest is history... Quote Link to post

john robbo 30 Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Think it will be a possible low bronze. borderline. A clever photo angle me thinks. It really isn't that heavy. Just very nice. Quote Link to post
