the pelt man Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Had a good afternoon/eve Bit of fishing pulled out this nice Common Carp Guess the weight !!. Put up a good fight on light takle about 8-10 min's. Taken on a floating free lined dog biscuit on a size 8 barbless hook. Had my Tikka T3 Laminate/Stainless .243 called this Doe in, she turned away from me about 20 yards out through a clump of trees, shot through the back of head 80 grain win smashed & riped out lower jaw on exit . I only take head shots if there aint a Heart lung shot on. All in all a good end to a slow weekend. PELTMAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Nice chiller M8,any idea if a fallow will fit in one and what price did you pay for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the pelt man Posted July 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Get yourself a six footer, Take the rear legs of your Fallow at the knee & stick on a gramble. Keep your eyes open on e-bay you should be able to pick one up for £80-£120. I got mine out of a paper it said it was a 6' but turned out a bit shorter when i arrived to pick it up so i knocked him down £20 . i think i got it for £60 cant remeber. Its a Scandinova costs over £500 new. I got it with 1 year left on the warrenty. Its a must for any Hunter, a great bit of kit.

Do you Cull/Manage or even stalk Deer ? PELTMAN Oh dear Pelt Man (no pun intended) it would seem ive rattled your cage! As I said in my original post this sign "?" is a question mark. That means it was a question. Without consulting my reloading manuals I was not sure because nobody I know would use an 80grain bullet on deer only fox. I suggest If you are reloading and producing 3350 fps that it is almost certainly at maximum load, according to my manuals. Hodgson can load up to 3450fps! I suppose I am very lucky as I have access to 5 species of deer, Red Fallow, Sika, Roe and Muntjac, the minimum bullet I have seen one of my collegues use is a 95 grain and only on the smaller species. Four of those species are on one area! I agrre the .243 is a common caliber and a capable deer round but I would advocate a minimum of 100 grain for deer only. This is of coures personel preference but I feel anything lighter is to fragile! I do not agree that .22 centerfire should be legal for the smaller species, it opens a can of worms not only from a poaching point but from a humane point!
