Sussex double

[Baldcoot 2,352]

Trip last Saturday to West Sussex in that evil storm,flooded roads,crazy winds .

The usual warm welcome and off out to be dropped in a high seat.3o mins later saw a little white bum ,bins  up it's a  Roe buck Doe and fawn .

Shot the fawn ,nice size Doe and waited but the other  Doe didn't return to her fawn .Green out ,healthy gralloch .

Back to the Bothy, fawn in the chilled and bald bloke to local for a nice nosh.

5am already up ,tea and biscuits meet the other guests and out .Unsuccessful hour in a different seat and off on foot to see a massive buck 10m away. Took the heart shot ,he ran and dropped. This can't be right he was massive, this is a spiker. 

Me tit, scope on 9 not 0 so at 10m he looked huge .Nice clean gralloch, and luckily the guide was with me as he was a fat boy to carry.

Great weekend, good craic,great friends
