i hav just finished reading this paticular article and like dunc's was quite astounded by the wording
but the few main pointers are
(1) the only distance quoted is 135 yrds by the range finder at the point they set up for the shot
(2) looks like the bullet entered through the shoulder and the roe buck ran 20ft
(3) if a field gralloch has been performed no photos show any evidence of this
(4) it clearly states that the stalker is eager to get it back to the larder
so drags it the 100 yards or so using a hunters mate deer extraction method and then put the buck it into the back of his landie
(5) with the clock barely passed 9am."i'll gralloch him later today" says jeff. "i give the venison away to whoever owns the land and also the head if they want it
jeff is the stalker
i think the wording would hav look better if he had said i will gralloch him when i get back to the larder, as this is what i presume he was going to do
things are quite often said in haste but mean different to how they sound
i would of thought the article on page 36 may be more of a worry than a late gralloch
i wonder how many higyene rules that fella might be in breech of if he sold any part of that carcass
