cpaulc Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I took a wander with my new CZ .243 and spaniel in the sunshine. Having reached the high point I nipped through a hedge to spy the field below aand found this chap mooching along the adjacent hedgeline about 130yds away. Unfortunately the shot wasn't on (no suitable backstop), so we watched him move slowly down the hedgeline and then we skirted around to head him off at the bottom. Picked him up again unexpectedly half way round when we were in a gateway I somehow managed to get the eager spaniel to sit still and quiet while I crawled around the corner and waited for the ideal time to take a sound 60yd shot with him just quatering toward me. He dropped where he stood which was a pleasing reward to a nice first stalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpaulc Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Thanks guys, Yes i was impressed with the head on him. Quite a set of points but not as bulky as many ive seen. I'm not a head mounting kind of man, but it was worth a photo. Got to love the CZ, especially when it came with a S&B 6x42, t8 mod & 75rds. - cant fault it.

Dunkield Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I would boil it and mount it just to mark your first if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitebridges Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I bet the adrenaline was rushing a bit. Well done and enjoy the meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpaulc Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yes I got my butchering on today, and I'm now keen to find a local with a cold store which I could use. The carcas could have done with a day or so more, probably with the skin off. The meat was quite loose, and pale, rather than the firm dark meat I was hoping for. Unfortunately the 100grain softtip hade ruined the front end, but still got a lot out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I remember my first, stood side on about forty yards barking his head off at me. At the shot he run 100yds before piling up. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
