moses Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I was out Fallow stalking in Wiltshire yesterday morning. There was a strong wind blowing into my face as I sat and waited, It was'nt long before the first deer was heading my way, a sorel, he was with a pricket about 130yds out, he stopped for a few seconds and I squeezed the trigger. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z94/mos...35/DSC01171.jpg As the sorrel went over the pricket ran on about 30 yds then turned and ran back towards me, it was as if he could'nt work out where the noise had come from, he offered a shot as he was heading into some thick gorse. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z94/mos...35/DSC01173.jpg I shot the doe and then the fawn within seconds of each other, then we called it a day, http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z94/mos...35/DSC01174.jpg http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z94/mos...35/DSC01172.jpg This next pic is the graphic one, My friend and head stalker on the estate shot this beast with a 243 winchester 95grn silver BT to the head at 90yds. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z94/mos...35/DSC01176.jpg All in all a great morning ambush!

wol the hunter Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 wont be putting the head on any wall with that last shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 nice shooting, We need someone to get stuck into them round here, I sat and counted a herd yesterday 88 head but they all seem to stick to one farmers land who won't allow shooting. Its not a good thing as its a pretty populated area with too many roads for that number of deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miffy Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Nice report and good pics. I have never heard the term Sorrell and wondered what that means??? SS A sorel is a 3 year old buck i do believe, the year after he would be called a sore buck Good shooting and write up too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codling99 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 the last one called a sore head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moses Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Nice report and good pics. I have never heard the term Sorrell and wondered what that means??? SS Miffy is spot on! A male fallow deer is called a fawn in his first year; a pricket in his second; a sorel in his third; a sore in his fourth; a buck of the first head in his fifth and a great buck in his sixth.

v-max Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Well done some very good shots & fine too see some one trying to keep them in check.No brains left with the hesd shot to have on toast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holland&Holland Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Well done, congratulations. i myself am going to Lincolnshire for fallow deer and muntjac in three weeks. Hopefully i will get one . In my country and probably mostly the rest of europe we classify them as: pricket = spitser (or spiesser) sorel = knieper sore = loffler buck 5th = half schauffler buck older = schauffler It's names are from the german language, now you know what to call them in case any of you guys shoot a german/mainland one....
