First Deer

Went up to, ''Muntjac stalkers'' place last Saturday and got my first deer. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish.

 

Fell out of bed at 5am and straight into the car so right boot down and up the road I went. Arrived there around 6.15am and man it was a beautiful morning with so much wildlife knocking around. The pheasants were ambling around in the morning sun like no mans business among god knows how many hares, rabbits, and geese. It was at this point my heart started thumping with excitement.

 

Anyway,Jason opens the back door upon my arrival and in for a cup of tea. We had a general chat about what the plan was for the morning and a few safety tips and then we were off up through the first couple of fields and into the wood. So we edge our way through the first wood without seeing any deer although the floor and trees were moving with wildlife from partridge,rabbit,hare, and the odd woody still deciding which crop to feed on for breakfast. So on we go very slowly and there about 40 yards through the rough we could see a small group of two doe's and a young buck. We got closer within 30 yards or so and then all of a sudden they spooked and bolted. I reckon it was the pounding noise of my heart that spooked them. On we go and a few more minutes passed with my nerves on edge and then there it was, a young buck side on around 40 yards. I quickly got into position and one hit knocked him for six.

 

Bloody hell what morning. I think i've got the bug.

 

I would definitely recommend Jason who advertises on here for muntjac stalking if this is what you want to experience. An all round top guy with lots of experience and time to share with newbies like me.
