Birx Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I was recently asked to shoot some deer on someone's land. Always reluctant to turn down the opportunity to be paid for shooting deer, I accepted. When I arrived at the ground though, I was very disappointed to discover it was nothing more than an old ladies back garden, surrounded by roads, and neighboured on all sides by ground my friend had the stalking rights for. I would practically have been shooting deer out of her kitchen window. What would you have done? (Being a responsible stalker I declined) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashgun Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 i would of asked her to keep her washing in so there was more room to take a shot. ha dont worry to much about the road there must be a break in the traffic at some point. and just offer your mate some money, but only offer !

lee-stroud Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 How big was the garden and would it of been cleared by the local police force ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birx Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 The washing would have provided some cover Flashgun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birx Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Shoot from a bedroom window Of course! Why didn't I think of that? An elevated position would have made for a much safer shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee-stroud Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 As a guide would you have not put up high seats thinking safety first an all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yds Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Of course! Why didn't I think of that? An elevated position would have made for a much safer shot. If you were a pro you would have. Or a high seat. There are loads of options and every job should be looked at not just dismissed. Thats what makes a pro. Not sure who employs you but i'd want my staff to have a little more common sense. A pro would also have noticed the garden had whitetail fawn decoys running around in there. LOL Don't even find them in the parks around there. Edited January 30, 2013 by yds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yds Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Around where? your photo has a whitetail in it !! So the garden you looked at is in america or finland. Edited January 30, 2013 by yds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birx Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Numpty? This is supposed to be a friendly forum where like minded folk can share their stories - not insult each other. And I flatter myself that I can tell the difference between a whitetail and a piece of moulded plastic. What you can see in my pic is moulded plastic (I'll refrain from responding in kind with "NUMPTY"). However you said whitetails are not even to be found in the parks round there. I just wondered where you were 'there' was, because I haven't mentioned anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birx Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 your photo has a whitetail in it !! So the garden you looked at is in america or finland. If you're as quick on the trigger as you are on the edit button, that plastic whitetail would probably have a hole in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again being a pro I am quick its my living I do it daily, assess backstop, quarry and sex. Do more in months then you will in your life. Been doing it for nearly 30 years already.

Birx Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 "Round There" was in response to your photo you used to show the garden in your original post. But I didn't say where it was, so I'm curious to know why you're so sure there are no whitetail in the parks nearby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've done a lot of editing in this thread - Mistakes made in haste on a keyboard are easily rectified with the edit button. There's no edit button once you've pulled the trigger!
