the pelt man Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Watched the Football then out for a Quick Stalk, a slow walk & spotted this young Buck having a nibble. He didn't feel a thing, only a twenty five yard shot. Tikka T3 .243 Stainless Laminate. Great Rifle. Back home & in the chiller. Nice cool beer now.

the pelt man Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Is it expensive to have a set up like that PM? Pedro The only outlay is for the chiller £50-£150, if your lucky you can pick up an old bottle chiller or Coke chiller of E-Bay or out your local E&M/Loot. Just keep your eyes open. I'm now looking for a 6' double door drinks chiller as i will be culling a lot more Deer soon & i am able to take a good few for myself. They are good for the Rabbits as well just keep your eyes open. PELT MAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you being using high seats ? Its been great the last couple of months stalking through the blue bell woods with the sun coming through the trees. Moving very slow & then spotting the Muntjac walking slow nibbling away. Dont always take a shot. Last weekend we spotted a doe walking round in circles & kept laying down then getting up again. We could see that she was going to give birth, she caught our sent so we left her to it, didn't want her to get to stressed. Good luck anyway, you will love it.

Holland&Holland Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Have a go in Lincolnshire on the estate of a good friend of mine. Normally we (me and three dutch mates of mine) go for pigeons, rabbits and other vermin like foxes and sometimes culling of fallow. This year there has been several sightings of muntjac during the day by the owner and his family. So were asked to give these a try as well. Never done it so any top tips are welcome. (by the way, have much experience with stalking for roe and red deer, but this is quite different i think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was waiting for a fox, had just seen the fox, then something caught my eye to the right. Their in some tall grass, was a fallow doe, giving birth. Hense, i did not shoot the fox, did not want to disturb the doe. I must get that fox though at some stage. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stirky Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Well done PM , thats a good idea with the chiller. Is it easy to tell the difference between bucks and does with muntjack ?, i only have roe on my ground and i find them very easy to tell apart, but it looks like muntjack could be a lot harder.

Thanks for your response Digger When working a Cull is usually carried out unless its a doe that could have a Fawn (when culling Muntjac). But when stalking for myself then this is when some times what you see before you is best left is a memory. I dont think that Antis understand that shooters have a great respect for the Fauna that do & dont shoot. PELT MAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stirky Muntjac are easy to tell apart but unlike Roe you can only sex them from there Head alone, Doe's have a black dimond on there face unlike the Buck that have a black V shape from there nose to the top of there pedicels, & a lot of the time you can see there tusks. They dont have the distinct **** patterns of Roe. PELT MAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holland&Holland Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 @ stuartp I am using my brno .308 win. Shoot Roe, Red deer, Wild boar, Fallow, foxes etc.. with it. Works for me. I bring the guns over from the Netherlands. I have a british visitor's shotgun and rifle permit. Never had any trouble trough customs. (never checked me.... ) But papers are in order . Hopefully get some muntjac, fallow and pigeons. Will let you guys know how it went. Going this friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
