docholiday Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Out for a stalk on friday night, just cut the crop and had an interesting time getting onto this fellow, sneaking along the hedge saw the buck at the other side of the field, life was made easier by the straw bails, but there were five does between me and him so I thought I would have no chance. anyway got up to 70 yds from the does and just stood by the bail, amazingly three of the does wandered past me, one was only 6 foot away, they new something was not right but couldnt work me out, my clothes stink of deer, they dont get washed and I think thats what saved me. Then another buck put in an appearance and had a ruck with the other buck, this worke as this pushed the other does past me and the buck that lost the fight followed them down to me, so after an hour and a bit of being in amongst this lot i got my shot. as you can see in the last photo on the follow up post ( couldnt get all three onto one post) the shot was low just taking out the bottom of the heart. this always makes them run and mine went 100 yds before going down dead. very exciting stalk and have spent the afternoon making venison burgers as it piddles down outside. doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Good shooting mate! Is it just the angle that the first photo was taken at or is he extremely long in the leg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not long in the legs, just used a wide angle lens hence the picture. cheers doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
