After a couple blank outings after sika this season, at last lucky.
Got up at 4, collected a good friend and off down to kerry.
We split up to two different high seats. It turned out to be a beatiful morning without rain, but the ground was very wet. I couldn't get a line on a spike that passed through and because we had no dog along didn't want to risk anything, so I let him go.
Later a nice sika stag walked towards me and stopped for a moment, I took him at 85m. Didn't want to destroy him or his antlers and opted for a low head shot. Found the 165gr SST later just behind atlas joint.
A day to remember, nice healthy fat animal, beautiful morning and good company.
