Another effort...

Yesterday i was kindly invited by a friend on his ground, lovely woodland with good numbers of muntjac, fallow and roe.

Despite putting in a lot of effort, i didn't managed to get a shot, my friend got two roe does though. Was an enjoyable morning anyway, in very good company and a nice piece of land.

 

Today found me again stalking for fallow, after another short notice from a land owner.

The morning was cold and almost with no wind, stalked for about an hour an a half, and eventually come across a small herd, where a pricket presented itself at about 120 meters, in some dry ferns. Pulled the trigger and dropped on the spot.

After extraction, gralloching and delivering to the game dealer, went for a full english, and back again, on a different patch, some nice woodland.

The stalking was difficult though, everything on the floor was dry and noisy. Moved slowed through the woods and after a while i stopped next to some thick cover and heard some noise ahead of me, and before i could reach the binos, spotted a withe doe sticking out like a sore thumb. Quick on the sticks and i could see the whole herd moving in front of me, at about 70 meters. I had enough time to pick my target, the crosshair was behind a doe's shoulder, squizzed the trigger and number 2 was on the floor.

The extraction took me an hour of dragging the beast through the woods, and i'm absolutely knackered but satisfied one again...

If I didn't have my heart set on a Sauer 202 elegance I would have got one of these :good:

 

Good guns as well, you cannot go wrong with a Sauer, Blaser or Mauser... One of my mates just ordered the 404, i'm looking forward to see how it performs.

 

 

 

Can you give me one valid reason to do so? :)

 

 

No not at all shootgun ,just cosmetically I like seeing one on a rifle :)

 

So this issue is settled than ! :)

Great write up. Carry on and I might just get the bug back again.

 

Don't you dare put a mod on that either. That rifle was made to like like that. It's how a stalking rifle should be.
