Frenchieboy Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 What excellent marksmanship, not even a twitch from either of them. Great work, it's a real pleasure to watch someone with your skills and abilities in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Great shooting mate; like Frenchie said great marksmanship and very humane kills. Was that first buck a spine shot? I was waiting for it to turn broadside and next thing it dropped, excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was waiting for it to turn broadside and next thing it dropped, excellent Cheers all.No spine shot Ollie.Took him at the base of the neck.He wouldnt stand still very long and there is a bungalow to the left of him when i took the shot.If i waited for a broadside i might have lost the chance as he was going to the left.No wind so the neck was a good option and no meat damage either.

sako751sg Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Dave a couple of nice vids fella looks like you got some nice land there,and stubble no seen any of that since the new year. The two parks of stibble are about 100 acre.The lad has rented it out for x amount of years,and the fella that has been taking it has tried to claim it,im not sure how,so the owner has fenced the entrance off,and dug big ditches at other entries so the cheeky *** cant get onto it.The wild grass and whatever is quite lush through the stibble and the roe find it very tasty.Behind the jeep is another place altogether,and i have that which is approx 250acres.The treeline is a huge wood and the supply of roe is never ending.The park probably wont get used this year now,and it will be good feeding for them.

If you have the talent then neck shot is a good option to have. Enjoyed the vids; keep them coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep them vids coming. Very strange how some places produce decent heads and a place a few miles away produces run of the mill stuff.I have had the place with the stibble for about 10 years,and i have had one gold,167 points,5 silvers and 3 bronze off it.Very lucky to have it and touch wood i keep it for a long time to come. And thanks all for the comments.Way way too kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
