Roe Buck.

[mj robson 8]

After an exhausting two days out pigeon shooting (800 birds shot), I decided to go out myself with the gun this morning to a farm where we have a lot of game crop planted in with yellow clover, the deer love it. The farmer has been moaning about them grazing his winter wheat field next to it. I stalked in on 5 beasts and shot this nice buck out of them at about 150 yards.

 

Shedding it's winter coat.

 

 

Last weeks beast in the chiller.

 

Cheers,

Mark.

Cracking buck Mark . Did it have much weight about it ? Possible medal I guess ?

Thanks guys,

 

Foxshot,

My father is a guide and I help him out at the Pigeons quite a bit. These birds were from Friday only, we had about the same number again yesterday. For the bright windless conditions, plus the fact that half the county has been drilled in this dry spell were having, we did pretty good.

 

Foxy,

This wasn't too heavy a buck, 38lb head and legs off, he had pretty worn teeth. He seems to have a large skull with big pedecles so I'll know better when it's boiled off. Might be bottom end bronze.

 

Cheers,

Mark.

Nice & welldone mark im still after a bronze yet to complete the lot.I saw a buck that would be this class but he was young say 3yrs & i thought i should leave him to see if he progesses but there not realy that rare now a day's & im sure a bronze will come by soon.

[Guest grubygrafter]

nice buck mark what length is the head looks a little light to be a medal . might be the pic though.

nice little trophy all the same :thumbs-up:

GG,

 

I would tend to agree with you there but the skull itself looked and felt rather large and this can make all the difference to weight, I'll know better whan it's boiled.

Either way it won't be getting scored anyway. I had a definate bornze and two borderline bronzes last year that I didn't get scored, now if it was a silver/gold.........

 

Cheers,

Mark.

Fantastic hunting there but I was wondering what you do with the antlers... would make perfect thumb stick handles!!!!
