[David.evans 5,323]

Been out 6 times and only ever seen does

cant find entry \ exit hole for love or money

atb lads

Good for you Dave 

Not got any roe by me yet.

Wish the muntjack would turn up, I could carry one of them out!

[philpot 5,014]

Nice one Dave, a bit strange there is no entry / exit evidence. Like the look of your Tika mate.

I didnt carry that either , drove my truck up to it I’m to old to carry a bag of spuds never mind that

and if I can’t 

get the truck to them in the future they will be doing a bee g impression 

staying alive

Well done Dave , nice first buck ....no entry wound ....didn’t trip and bash its head and your claiming it ....body shot your soon see where when you opened it up ..how did you get on with the gralloch , was that a first ? 

[David.evans 5,323]

I found it quite easy mate , I whatched that many u tube videos I ended up dreaming about it 

as for no entry hole I shot it in the chest front on and found it , but with all the excitement I forgot

I must admit that if ever I shot a deer, I would have to take it to a pal to gralloch it as I would be throwing up all over the place. Totally useless at gutting stuff, what a whimp, I know before you say anything Dave. I shoot em and eat em.......................my dearly beloved has to do the bit in the middle 

I am impressed mate, well done.

Off to look at a few .22lr rifles next week and a .22 WMR. Never got on with my Anschutz stock, just didn't suit me but the thumbhole is completely different from a quick look at one so we will see mate.

 That’s a lovely looking buck Dave, well done, I see a lot of good feeds there, it may be time to invest in a mincer and a sausage maker

Front on chest shot not the best placing mate . Can and will do a lot of internal damage .

[ArchieHood 3,692]

It was his first,......be gentle with him.

YouTube is a godsend Dave

Im permanently on it... I’m debating what to put on me ticket for the deer as I want to start home loading!

seriously thinking about a tikka in 6.5/55

loads of deer to go at round my way, these dopey feckers walked right up to me the other night

[David.evans 5,323]

I know mate I had the same 

but you can’t shoot them after dusk I sat and watched for hour where they come out of the woods and then just lay in wait , now I know I’ll have to move the high seat

[philpot 5,014]

Forgive my ignorance Dave but why can't you shoot them after dusk, is that the law. Never really wanted to shoot them although we have loads on our perms, perhaps something for the future or perhaps I am to old to start now.
