A massive thanks to Rick O'shea for putting me onto my first Fallow buck this evening.
Rick showed me to a recently erected high chair which overlooked a field which undulated upwards from the chair, the sort of view that has a certain good feeling about it.
Well, i`d hardly had time to settle down and get prepared when three Fallow made their way down the field, they stayed to my left hand side before crossing in front of me about 70 yards out.
The middle beast was a great looking buck which finally stood still for a broadside shot. After the impact of the bullet the buck ran 50 ish yards, staggered and then dropped dead.
Before the gralloch he weighed in at 158 lbs. A great result and one to be remembered.
All made possible by a top bloke.
