henry d Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I was a bit disheartened this morning after several unsucessful stalks, so I was full of hope when I arrived at the area I earmarked for this evening as there were seven deer in the field and I hadn`t even reached the high seat ! The only buck was young and I had intended to take him but when I got into position he was over 200 yds away and still going As I got towards the seat I was spotted and 4 ran off so I just carried on to the seat. It was one of the 3 legged ones and a swivel seat and very comfy. Long story short, several deer(around 16 all told !!) came and went and eventually I had the lad I wanted, fully grown and a poor head. I had a bad case of "Buck fever" and had to leave him and fortunately he was walking parallel to me and just as I was getting ready a doe was startled by a hare running past her and I had to take the shot as he was ready to bolt. Pick the spot, squeeze, BANG ! he ran 20 yds and stopped then fell sideways. I found out when I gralloched him that I had taken half his heart out with the shot and it must have been the adrenalin that drove him. Hope the hex is broken and I can getb the cull sorted properly ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyb Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 We observed one this evening leaving the cover of a wood, at an estimated 200mph! No idea what upset it! but we didn't get to glance at any more... 3-0 to the deer for me at the mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flytie Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Well done HD, you are doing better than me!! For the last month i have been absolute mustard on foxes (13), but cannot get near a buck. I had two near the start of the season and mostly they went in good-will presents to neighbouring shoots and landowners. I could do with one for the freezer! atb, ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
