Hiya, I had a "late" start for work this morning, almost backshift as I didnt have to start till 8am, so, as I was awake at 5am as per usual,, had a coffee and decided to go on the long drive to the farm, 30 secs after starting the car, I was there. I kid you not, it's that close...
I've been watching a group of 4 Roe on this farm for the last couple of months, the large doe was obviously pregnant. Their's also a good buck, a 6 pointer, but he's still in velvet, and will do for another day in a few weeks.......along with the Doe and the Buck, their are a yearling buck and doe ..I'd tried for the yearling doe previously, but not had a shot at her..... The yearling buck was the target....and after a bit of waiting and watching the clock, ( in case I was late for work) and me crawling round one of the sheds, he presented a shot at about 120yds...
I fired and he stood for about 5-10 seconds, I didnt see the hit, but the farmers son in law was with me, and saw it through the binos, it hit in the heart... and it just fell over.....
So, my first of the season, hopefully more to come...AND, I was'nt late for work...
