Shotgunspud Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Hi all i have just been up to Yorkshire with a very good mate of mine John Robson on a swap a stalk we done and what a fantastic 2 days i had. Now i understand he is not the biggest you will see but for my first roe buck he is everything i wanted and more... John and i had two fantastic stalks into him first one in the morning after about a 5k stalk though some fantastic woodland...Derek the buck as known on the S/D got the better of us with the wind turning and a jumpy doe giving us away after having the cross-hair on him for a second!! and i must add both john and i had the shakes and every hair on my neck upright, now i have shot my fair share of deer Reds/fallow/Sika/Chinese/Muntjac/but the one i wanted the most was the Roe buck so this one meant the most to me not just to tick all the boxes,,, i dont have to many on my land all the others but not that many Roe so i am leaving them to come on a bit. but of all of them the Roe is may favourite. Second stalk and we sat and watched in a number of spots but no movement just a lot of bucks barking,,, John said come on mate lets try Derek again he's a long walk from here so lets move now... now i know John and just what this one buck meant to him so i was even more thankful when he told me he wanted me to take him,,, after looking at some fallow for 5 or 10mins we moved onto the last seen spot of Derek! next to his holly bush in some cleared woodland but no sign of him?? until John jumped up onto a tree stump and jumped straight back down saying here he comes!!!! after what seemed for ever he showed himself with the light falling fast he offered me the shot at about 70 yards so i control the shakes and placed the the shot spot on!! he ran 25 yards into the tree line and breeze done what she dose best ( what a dog ) John went in after her and not seconds later breeze was sat weighting for her treat!!! Not a penny change hands on this trip as it was all mates so a big thanks to John for a couple of fantastic days with you and old 1 shot Mal....LOL Gents i can insure you all John Robson is a true sporting stalker playing it by the book in every way shape a form,,, anyone doubting that think again...
