garyb Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Invited Stealth Stalker up to one my patches early this morning for a walk round with the rifle. Having recce'd the ground for the past week, I knew we were in with a good chance of putting some venison in the larder. Not 100 yards out of the car I put SS onto a good Muntjac buck hiding in the margins, sadly he didn't present a safe shot and slipped away under the hedge! We moved on another 60-70 yards and found this Roe buck - who was exactly in the spot that I had "favoured" following my previous reconnaissance. A quick whistle, and a broadside bark from SS's 243 at 60 yards and he was in the bag. Worth getting out of bed for! I'm looking forward to the return invite for a nice Sika I've got my eye on Edited June 22, 2011 by garyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 So does SS just put himself out there as everyone favourite guest? We should have a day on his permission with him beating the deer towards a line of selected invitees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) To be fair Stuart.. He is a dab hand when it comes to skinning them! He could prove quite useful on a Herfordshire Running Deer Day What dates are good with you SS ? Edited June 22, 2011 by garyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
