New seat produces again

Last week i built a new seat, not exactly a high seat but one that enables me to see over the bracken etc, and get me up away from the midges.

After several days of strong wind and rain, i finaly got a nice evening to try it.

I was watching a doe for about 20 mins straight out in front across a gully

When a good buck appeared, eventualy he presented a broadside shot so i let loose a 140gr gameking from my 6.5x55

nice looking head you got there! is that your new method of cleaning heads in the background, a quick dunk in those fearsome looking fish??:D

regards, Jez.
 
Brilliant mate!
Like the look of the high seat too!
Could do with 1 of those, any more info on it?

Cheers

Nice seat ,when your bracken is at that height break the stems to the ground you'll find doing it a couple of time a season will stop it coming up allowing the grass to come up ,saves loads of work looking for a shot beasty in heavy undergrowth .
 
The fish are a cross between gold and piranha, they bite worse than they look :D

The seats are very easy to make, i bought four 3m lenghts of 3x2, put a screw through them at the pivot point, put a brace across top/bottom/sides.
The ladder and rifle rest are off big pallets from work.

If you were buying all your wood then six lenghts would see it completed. :thumb:
 
Nice 1 mate, thanks for the info.
Lovely looking buck by the way!!!

Cheers
