Redgum Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 On one of my permissions I worked out that it had taken 20hrs per muntjac, ok its not a very high density area and I normally just take bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 If you call successs shooting a deer then proberbly 1 in 3 stalks . If you call getting out to stalk successful then 100% . Harnser . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Our local pro stalker (roe) reckons his clients success rate is 1:3 stalks on does and 1:3.5 stalks on bucks, which is pretty close I would say to my average. But you can get a long succession of blanks, done ten in a row myself. This last few months my track record has'nt been great: : 3 days 6 stalks Perthshire forestry - 2 Red Stags (good trip, saw a lot) : 1 am stalk locally at end of roe buck season - blank (saw two seperate bucks well in range but both skylined). : 1 am stalk locally for roe does - blank : 2 days 4 stalks Dumfries roe does - blank (plenty around but no luck, could have shot a couple of buck kids) : 2 days 4 stalks Perthshire forestry - blank (bumped two hinds in the dark firts morning as I got into position, only deer I saw) : 1 day 2 stalks Lincs and Beds respectively - 1 CWD buck (excellent day) So thats my stalking diary since September, pretty poor really. But just as you can get a run of blanks you can get a run of successes.....roll on the buck season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Successfully shooting a deer is what I meant, though getting past the missus to stalk is an achievement in itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooter Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I went out for an hour on the bunnies today. On my way down the hedgeline I put up two munties that have been there for the last two years that I know of, within the same minute I put up a CWD, and half an hour later a dog walker sent a muntie buck to within ten yards of me. Had I been carrying the .223 I would have grassed at least one of them. I have one shoot that I get 1 in 2, but it is right near to the muntie source (Woburn Abbey) and it is overrun with them, but on all other land it is probably 1 in 4.

njc110381 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I recon about one in three I could shoot a Deer. Quite often I will let them walk though so probably shoot one in ten at the moment. I haven't shot a Deer yet this year I don't think...

Redgum Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Viagra has its downsides, got one stuck in me throat once and had a stiff neck for three wicks. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Until I got to know my ground, 1 in 4 or 5 was successful, now it is more like 8-9 in 10 and some are multiples. However I had time on my hands and I wouldn`t expect that from everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
