Big thanks to Roedenator.
We met up at Pete's place, had a cuppa and introductions, then went out, dropped a few on the way to the patch I would be stalking.
Started slowly walking up in the woods scanning around for deer, five then flushed out from near the high seat, as we got a little closer, a roe doe was spotted 140 yds away grazing, so we slowly made our way to, and up the high seat, got into position, and watched her, waiting for her to be so decent as to move herself into a better position, 20 mins or so later had her moved into a clearing, and standing broadside, I took aim, slipped the trigger, and she dropped right there to a 150gr from my .308, 93 yards, I reloaded and made ready for either a follow up shot or another possible flushed deer, we then went over to her and she was slumped right where shot, textbook shot placement, and textbook wound channel, we then hauled her off to gralloch.
This was my first ever stalk and all went great, and I was the only one to bag a beast, so to say I'm happy, that's an understatement. And to then top off the night, back to Petes for a fab stew and a drink.
Cheers Pete, another time hopefully
