Back to work after rearing.

anja took this with a shot to the liver off sticks at 110m's

Dear oh dear!

 

Obviously a case of must get client closer.

Thanks harry, more a case of bucks fever and the beast was quartering slightly.

Like you have never taken one slightly back. the buck was coming to the call and would probably have come to 30ms but she had done very well on the target.

You put an honest post up and immediatly the arse holes appear.

Hello again.

John well done mate and if the lady shot it back abit thats the way of it. I am sure old Harry has shot a few in the gut in his time.

[john robbo 30]

Shots to the liver happen i had a 160yarded couple of nights ago called him up ,he stopped broadsided just as i pulled the trigger he moved forward, but only 30 yards or so and sat down so had to second shot him.

 

I was going to take the rifle and shoot him again but like yours he went no distance laid down and bled out in seconds so there was no need or time.

These things happen to us all. Like i said an honest post.

[john robbo 30]

called another in tonight 15ms

the lads first stalk and his dad in tow, priceless and a smashing buck to boot.

to dark to video.

The head on that beast is an odd ball isnt it having a large tine on one side and a non existant one on the other.

unless its where you was positioned taking the photo.

Still a cracking cull buck especially for a first timer the lad should be well pleased with the result.

I totally agree mistakes happen. But I always hold fast to the principle that its the guides responsibility to ensure that the margin of error is reduced to its absolute barest minimum. Clients don't head or neck shoot beasts unless expressly at my request. If they miss we stop and check the rifles zero. They don't continue shooting in the hope of planting one simply by luck. Clients shooting off stick have to have proven their ability at the distance that is presented or we get closer. No ifs, buts, may be's or excuses.

 

The above was the way I was trained, by a very strict head keeper who came from the old school of keepers/stalkers. I must have tested his patience no end .

A good one to get off the place.

Here is me thinking you were trained by Swampy. The only deer you could stalk wee man are old dears up the back of the close.

Another rutting buck this morning shot in the pouring rain

 

 

[wireviz 8]

I had a big fella come to the call this morning john and a doe just a few mintues after the big lad went down.

[john robbo 30]

Called this little fellow in yesterday morning (the deer NOT fallowmoor).

Had to bark to stop him @ 24ms where he shot it.

Then couldn't stand up for the bucks fever which had kicked in when the events dawnwed on him.

Well done John looks like your having some fun. Called in 2 roe bucks last week with my Daughter and Niece with me, shot the cull. Had watched 7 Roe some with kids. Priceless. The girls were thrilled by it all. Watched 17 reds this morning ,been trying to get round them since the 1st. Nightmare!

We seem to have Harry the shit back. At least he is predictable i suppose.
