Bit of culling

[Squirrel_Basher 17,100]

Got the invite from a mate in Oxford to cull a few muntjac with the .223  .High seat to make a change .Soon as was in mine a doe crossed a ride to my left and stood briefly .Long enough for a shot anyway and number one was in the bag .

Gralloched straight away as it was a tad warm .Just in tge seat when along trots a fox cub ,still unsteady on its feet .Sniffs tge gralloch and carries on .Probs a vegan ,you never can tell these days .

As the light faded I had 3 munties round the seat .Two bucks and a mature doe .I was going to take the doe as per instruction but the younger buck presented first and straight after the old ,freshly cast buck stepped into a clearing .The light wasn’t that good now but the hawke scope did it’s thing and I bagged the doe as she froze beneath a holly bush .

Decent bag tbh .Muntie steaks all round and food enough for scavengers for couple days .

All head shot .

We are overrun with them round my way, and to be honest they are my favourite to eat.

What we lack is the CWD, none round my way at all!!

Lucky you , we have got the perfect habitat for them too. If they were here the population would explode.
