artschool Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) last saturday as a birthday present to myself, i was able to go on a cull day thanks to Elk hunter! day started at 8am with a bit of range time at 100 yards, 150 yards & 200 yards with lots of advice on shot placement, ballistics etc. after managing a few groups (with quite a bit of instruction ) we were able to head over to the land the deer were on. we got into position, and spent quite a time waiting till the weather settled and select the stag to be culled. it was then a matter of getting into a good spot to get a safe shot, which took around an hour but felt like 5mins! this was only half the day because i also got a chance to have a go at the gralloch as well as be shown how to skin the animal and break the carcass down all under supervision. all in all a great day plus i got to feed the family on venison burgers later on andrew Edited March 19, 2013 by artschool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elk hunter Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 You were very welcome Mr C. I've not downloaded the pictures yet as I've been busy. I'm glad you had a good day at my office. Big John came on Monday never even got a shot on the range for the fog. So got to get him rebooked. I'm also glad I've fed the family don't like to see the young ones go hungry.
