M ROBSON Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Well I decided to go out and have a look for the big buck that I saw on Tuesday morning. I'd only been on the ground 5 minutes and I spotted him standing on a banking just 150 yards away from where I saw him on Tuesday. I managed to get in close to him and dropped him with a perfect heart shot at 30 yards. A nice freak 8 pointer. I shot the buck at 03:45 and then went sniping with the 17hmr, back in the house for 06:00. It's a hard life!! After a day drying in the sun he's weighing in at 610 grams so should make a silver medal. I also cleaned off a head that my mate shot a couple of weeks ago and at the end of today it's weighing in at 680g and should make a gold. Cheers, Mark.

sako751sg Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Once again a cracking heed fella.A good silver going by the weight.Have had way more damaged/malforms this year and im presuming maybe the sustained frost has caused a bit of damage.A lot of tine ends look as though damaged in velvet and rebonded.

M ROBSON Posted June 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Dave, I've seen a couple now that I'd say have had a bit of damage from the cold, this one had a couple of dodgy ends. Dunkield, I cleaned the heads then mounted 50 snares ready for my ducks and pheasants going out. Cheers, Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
