1st deer of 2006


Recommended Posts

Travelled down to a farm I have permission on, where there are a few sika yesterday , in search of another Sika stag.On arrival I spied 9 sika in the 1st field but no stags all hinds and calfs.I decided to try for them anyway.

 

Luckily there was a water bowser in the field and that was where I crawled to to take my shot , I was covered in shit as the farmer had just sprayed the field :sick:

 

I picked out a deer standing broadside and squeezed off the trigger, it fell on the spot.The rest of the group ran only about another 20 yards so I lined up on the lead hind and once again a good strike and she was over within a couple of yards :D

 

Paced these deer out at 237 & 250 paces.........................I was well pleased with the shooting!!!

 

Carried on in search of stags but never saw any all day, I think they must be resting up after the rut as I saw 31 sika in all.

 

Never mind I will get one next autumn when they are rutting :D:D
