olivhar01 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) I found some time over the weekend to pop down to dorset to reccy a new permission that i have been asked to manage the deer on, close to an estate that i work for. I arrived @ 7.00 pm and immediately came across a group of hinds with their calves and a couple of prickets feeding on the cover strip. Due to a poor backstop a shot was not possible so carried on around the boundary where i found an ideal spot to sit up and wait for the deer to come out of the thick cover next to some wheat stubble fields. Just before dark a couple of hinds came out to feed @ about 100yds then a stag came out and presented itself perfectly broadside for me to take a good heartshot with the .243 steyr, the stag reared up and ran for 40yds before falling just short of the cover. A good 8 pointer and a good start to the season sorry for the poor image but the shot was taken in the dark atb Cal Edited September 6, 2010 by olivhar01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
game_boy Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Wonderful stuff - should eat very nice. I have heard that Sika is the best of all. Very capable round the .243! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 What a cracking looking beast, and the "not so good" quality photo does not take anything away from the fact that it is a fine beast and a good shot mate!
