Shotgunspud Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) Hi all, Just had a weekend i will never forget! we went to a bit of my ground in Norfolk to see how things where looking for this coming season stalking! once we had arrived and looked at some fantastic new ground i have picked up, upon seeing the keeper he said about some stags smashing the game cover down and they need removing! so we jumped to it and this was the end resolute 150ish yards and 2 in the grass happy days! ( they where two old lads but fantastic result ) Then on two see a now very good mate Gerry as we were after boar in R.O.W, now Gerry is someone i have spoken with for about a year on the phone but never face to face! but upon meeting him you just new this is one of lifes true gentleman and someone that new a thing or two about his boar... so after a coffee and the odd fag we are off!! Gerry takes us to one of his spots and goes over the safety bits and the lay of the land, and then we are off no sooner had we set off! Gerry said the words which will stay with me for ever! WE ARE ON BOYS!!! after seeing some with his NV the boar where from about 600 700 meters away! so we stalked into a nice shooting range, Gerry checked and said yes here we go, he said you ready mate i said yes and he lit the land up and there stood my first ever seen wild boar about 150 plus,, i put the dot on the spot a bang boar down! all went quite till you heard this very big lump jumping running around kissing what ever moved in front off him ( ME THAT WAS LOL ) to shouts of Gerry you little star! After getting up to the boar and finding out the shot was on the money as well, it was photo time Happy Happy boy!!! Then on for Julian's go we stalked around for about 2 hours looking and checking every bit of land we passed! then as we where heading back to the car! movement Gerry hit the light and stood there was well one hell of a Boar we all froze and Gerry said Julian shoot it!!!!! up went the rifle and down went the boar! oh my god where the words cried from all of us! then yes you got it bit move jumping around and kissing! After pulling this pig out into the open and seeing what Julian had just shot! thinking just how lucky we where to of even seen 1 but two of shot 2 in the same night WOW! Gerry we will always be forever thankful for a fantastic night, one we will never for get! What a weekend we had!!!! And to top it all off i got a call today and found out i have just picked up my own ground with Boar on!!!!!

Bert's Dad Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hi Spud, A huge Thank You for a brilliant weekend as usual from your stalking mate. (Wish you could sort your snoring out though! Bit short of Zzzzz's) I've been stalking for less than a year with you and I have now shot all the British Six now this weekend a Royal Stag and a huge truly wild Boar, A huge Thank You to Gerry who made the boar stalking an absolute pleasure and two of my mates can't wait to shoot with him next month again many thanks to Alex for arranging this for them with Gerry. Alex, the big stag was what dreams are made of, real hearting-stopping stuff - No pun intended! I cannot recommend Alex's shooting setup more highly and a big thank you to all his associates who altogether make a very professional and friendly team with results to match. Looking forward to the Finland trip as much as my kids look forward to Christmas Once again Many Thanks Bert's Dad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
