Frank Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 My mate was over again for the weekend, started off dry then P---d it down. But a great result in the end, after a diffecult stalk. Shot was taken at 257 yds (LICA RANGE FINDER,my mates ). With Remington Model 700 BDL .243, using federal 100 grain SP. ( My Mates ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Rainin White Feathers Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 you sure that the buck wasn't your m8's too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted October 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 We decided that since he shot it and i brought him onto land i have permision on, that he take the Head and i the meat, it will make great burgers, bolognese ect. I might, since i have the permision to shoot Vermin on this land, apply for a 6.5 X 55, sometime in the future, as their is a good Fallow population.

Cranfield Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Frank, do you score the antlers on a fallow buck ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted October 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 (edited) Never really thought of it before Cranfeild. We usually go by how palmated they are with points, this one looked good. I watched this particular buck the past 3 weeks, rutting away. But a stronger buck pushed him out of it 2 days ago, the poor thing looked miserable today on his own, wet and tired from the rut. Dont think he would of lasted the winter. Is their a scoring system?

pluckers son Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 send my a back leg over frank lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Is their a scoring system? I don't know, I hoped you might have the answer. My friends overseas refer to their bucks as being xxx points , I assume against an International points system. Do any of the other stalkers know the answer ?

Dunkield Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Nice work Frank! I picked up my Munjac from the butchers on Saturday so I am waiting to see what that tastes like. IMHO if you are going for a deer rifle the 6.5 will be far better for fallow than the .243. Mind you, it isn't as flat shooting as the .243 so you will have to stalk up a bit nearer or get familiar with you holdover points 140Grns flatten reds so I am sure they will do the same for fallow.

Frank Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 (edited) Thanks Stuart once more, let me know how the muntjack tastes like. I will definatlely go for a 6.5 x 55. Even my mate who has the .243, explained to me how you have to be very carefull on how you place your shots. He is actually going to change to a 6.5 x55 within the next couple of months. He reckons from experience with the .243, that it takes a wee bit longer for the deer to succum when shot in the boiler room, then a 6.5, the 6.5, kills almost instantly with boiler roon shots. I have seen it at work and it is deadly, knocks them right off their feet. Edited October 31, 2005 by Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
