Cold left overs...

Early doors trip to Nth Essex as these fallow are on a Am showing, what has often happened is they come from cover into this field (and there is always a but) this group of youngster's were bedded down not in the cover.
Sharp frost under foot also a low patchy mist to deal with, out to my left a lead doe and follower in cover very switched on!
The bedded down deer were starting to stand and my cold breath was drifting slowly their way get one on the ground Tim and see what happens!
A decent thump of the first deer with a clear path woke the others who were behind so what looked like 6 was 15! one rush to the right a couple skidded to a halt looking at their fallen sister then single file back into cover.
Oh well they have gone waited a while then walking back to get the truck I could see the group in the neighbour's winter wheat, strung her up on the high seat to hang cleaned her out and back in the seat for a while more but it will be a "next time"
Not big but a doe so that is one less with a good number to go.


If you was wondering about the title... cold left overs from last night take-a-way lol

Went in our chiller the other morning after knocking 2 fallow over & panicked thinking it’d packed up as it was so warm in there!! - gauge was showing 3 degrees but started dropping as I left the door open

A doe!

2 more as the chiller is on also they need shooting, I was lined up on a muntjac buck but a second doe came out between him and me so she took one for the team.
What did you manage today?

It's just nice to see a write-up featuring a doe.

I have no cull plan as out of the 15 fallow in that group all bunched up 1 had a clear/safe path had it been a buck it would still had a hole in it.
The other 14 pilled into cover and over the boundary. I will stick to my plan which is per the instructions of all the farms I shoot for.
You can stick to yours as I have no interest in others "plan" as it is theirs not mine.
