Browning Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 This lad was in a group with 5 other bucks and a couple of does. It took me 90 minutes, crawling on my belly for much of the time, to get a safe shot. I took this lad at 135 yards with the T3 .270. He was one heavy buck !

Devilishdave Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Good work. It looks like a nice rack of antlers on him. will you boil the head out or have him stuffed? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted August 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 NOt really sure Dave. I've never been one for trophies really, I purely shoot for control/management and the freezer. A pal of mine may take the head for mounting. This beast was nothing compared to the lead buck, he was magnificent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Cheers lads, they're all special, but the first is always that bit more special. It took me all weekend to stop grinning! Mark - it was indeed a stalk to remember, over dry stubble much of the way, very noisy, but I had the wind on my side. Luckily it hadn't been baled yet, so had plenty of rows of straw to crawl behind. Hopefully my high seats will be here this week which should help matters. Elma Fud - Cheers EF, good luck in Gods country, you're invitation stands when you get back. Frank - Yep, 1st August for us over here.

deadeye ive Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Crawling for 90 mins .........You won't forget that in a hurry mate ,In fact I can just imagine the language if this buck had bolted on the 89th minute :( I have heard that the .270 shakes your fillings out of your teeth .......is that correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I have heard that the .270 shakes your fillings out of your teeth .......is that correct Naaaw Ive, she's a pussy cat! To be honest I don't notice the kick any more. As long as it's pulled firmly into your shoulder it's fine. I do have a T8 on it, so that will probably help slightly.

skinkus Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Nice buck Browning been looking to get into stalking im not to far from you! do they run courses in oxford that you had to go on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 No Skinkus, I learned a lot about stalking from friends and professional guides, but I guess you don't really learn until you get out there, make mistakes, and learn from them. I'm lucky to have permissions that have different deer species so I tend to get out and about a lot. I've just booked my DSC1 for October so at least I'll be able to wear the T shirt. As far as courses in Oxfordshire go, I couldn't find any, I'm doing mine in Leicestershire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
