M ROBSON Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Hi Folks, I have a good friend from Cumbria that I know through wildfowling. He has had a bad experience with TillHill in the past and had not shot a buck yet, so I offered to take him out. He set off from his house at 12:00 and I met him at Kinross at 03:30 this morning. We passes a VERY nice buck on the road into the farm, in the middle of a flowering rape field, chasing another small buck. I didnt think the farmer would be happy getting woken up at quarter to four in the morning so we left them too it. After getting geared up we were only a few hundred yards from the cars when we spotted a buck with 2 young does. My mate stalked in to about 80 yards and dropped him with a well placed heard shot. He was delighted with his first buck. After a bit more walking through a birch plantation we came across another pair of does and a buck. The does were couching under some bushes but the buck was out in a grass patch browsing on some new bramble shoots. I dropped him on the spot with an 70 yard heart shot. It was a great morning, in total we saw 13 Roe, 2 foxes and about 25 hares. The added bonus was it didnt rain once till we got back to the cars! Cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
