taximan Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Well it all went right this morning. I went around one of my farms, as the farmer gave me a ring to tell me that they were cutting the grass early next week, and that he had seen a few Roe around. Spotted this fella down in the valley with his doe, so back tracked right the way back to the farm, and stalked up through the valley bottom. All went well and got to around 150 yds but the pair had laid down in the next field. 45 mins later the buck eventually got up and immediately started madly chasing the doe flat out.Bit early for the ruts thinks I, but Round and round they went until they both came through the hedge into my field. They didnt stop at first but the buck halted twice and the second time I was ready with the rifle on the sticks. Animal broadside ( more or less) I took the shot at around 80 yds. heard the bullet strike, then the buck ran 20 yds through the grass, then collapsed. Nice morning, and great result.
