Thought I would do a write up for Timmy as I know he loves them 
On checking the forecast it said dry today so a text to the farmer telling him I would be out at 3pm.
On arrival at my destination it started snowing so I hung around for 10 mins until it cleared. Heading for the usual haunt of the roe I was surprised that there was nothing out yet , must be sheltering in the woods.
I decided to check another field but it started snowing heavily again so another 1/ 2 spent sheltering until it abaited.
My next plan was to check out the boundary field but on glassing behind me I spotted 7 roe in a field back towards the farm.
I decided to try for these which were about 1/2 mile away. Up the bank to reach the edge of some cover and skirt along the edge hoping to get within range. As I was getting nearer a bloody cock pheasant flushed making a hell of a racket , bins up deer still feeding
I was now about 150 yds away when another pheasant let off the alarm ffs This time a few heads were up so I hunkered down until they resumed feeding.
I now had to crawl through soaking snow to get to the fence line which would offer a shot.Managing this I checked out the deer which were relaxed by now 3 bucks 4 does.
I had to wait a little while for the nearest doe to turn broadside. I then sent 100 grainer and a resounding thwack came back but there was still 7 deer standing ....wtf
I quickly checked with bins as I knew I hadn't missed , only to see a doe go wobbly and fall over.
She was hit perfectly 124 yds but didn't know it
Lovely afternoon stalking in the snow

Bitter East this evening so far South.
Well done 
I wouldn't want to crawl through that wet mushy snow
