Small Deer in the Tall Cover..

Last time I was here the mid sized Fallow Buck was an easy spot, I half thought there might be another one turn up but zero, lots of small prints had walked over the old fallow slots also 2 muntjac buck scrapes on the way to my stand, this field is awash with fat-hen so I must run the dog through one day as several pheasant's burst skywards announcing my presence
The tally of muntjac and foxes is struggling as this 2 year scheme is just to high, but the route most take is around the headland leaving me a slim chance!
Further along the ground rises a lot with many a muntjac/fox following down the old trails, the first deer was no different however when it disappears I just have to wait for it to pick the path I am lined up on!
Sure enough a yearling doe is on her last route of this field, over gunned with the .270 (a bit) should another Fallow Buck cross the ditch (not really) 1 down!

Just wait young Skywalker said the voice in my ear, wait for the Buck! there he was only 2 mins behind sniffing the air number 2!

Fresh front legs is my Spaniel's top treat so that keeps them quiet while thing were put away.

Yes Phil but he must have burnt off his fat running around chasing the girls

Nice to see the 270 getting a look in

Yes Toby, the .243 has been flat out for a very long time... Werner nicknamed it "The Black mamba"
