Daybreak doe

[Squirrel_Basher 17,100]

Out first light this morning for a look around a small farm .Tried a spot i rarely go to as for some reason known only to the deer ,they dont really like it .Some good cover and browse and peaceful but i only ever see the odd one .

Round a corner of a hedge and saw the tell tale shape of a deers head in the hedge .No need for bins as it was no more than 70 -75 yards away .She clocked me and was staring intently at my shape .I inched the rifle to my shoulder and shot her off un-opened sticks in the head .Bit of a drag but then again no pain no gain .I will dress this out for a few landowners as i like more than one to make the trip over the game dealer worth while .Very cold and a touch of fog on the lower ground .Saw a muntie as i came back to the truck but i was happy just to watch it mince along a hedgerow to a gap then skip through ,unaware of me .

Maybe another trip here soon will see a muntie in the bag ,who knows .Cheers ,foxdropper.

 

Edited to say that the bullet hit her direct between the eyes but no exit wound ,just a neat entry .

You had more luck than i did yesterday FD, she's looks in fine condition. Did you get caught in that show flurry first thing in the morning?
