Many thanks to Lee and his team for giving three members off this forum such an amazing experience.
I was out for the morning with Nick an AW who had arranged a 4am start much to my delight as had been looking forward to a lie in for ages so set my alarm for 3.
The high seat we were aiming for was one that i had visited previously and takes spacious to a ridiculous level roughly being the same size as a small kitchen.
As always its great to sit there listening and observing the forest awake.
First out was a couple of fallow does accompanied with fawns followed by two roe that at a distance had us quite excited as one mounted the other briefly before both ran towards and under the high seat and were both does.
Deciding on a stalk aiming towards another high seat we saw some more roe enroute and a muntjac that was obviously late for something.
With no bucks revealing themselves we all rendevoued from diferent high seats at the larder with one fellas smile needing no explanation as he had taken a good representative six pointer and also another roe buck.
All off for brekkie we spent the whole time laughing at each others tales..
Out for the evening this time in the company of Lee and to diferent high seats it wasnt long before a huge roe doe came out of the woods leaving us hopefull that a buck wasnt to far away.
In the high seat for less than an hour two yearling fallow bucks emerged in an adjacent field with one dropping on the spot with a shot to the engine room and quickly reloading for the other i fired the rifle which disapointingly went click having not chambered the round. Quickly reloading i neck shot the other which dropped just feet away..
Gralloching them both and dropping them at the larder we could hear the other guys being equally succesful as the shots rang out.
Still being very early we then made our way to another seat and observed several roe and fallow does with some very noisy boys in close attendance but hidden in the woods
As always it was an immense pleasure to visit Lee's estate and between the three of us had taken six deer..
Many thanks Lee and best wishes to Nick and Ryan who also accompanied us and also to the two site members i had the pleasure to spend many hours laughing with..
Regards
Terry
The boys were 30 and 33kg
