Señor Vet is more of a mechanic from what I gather. @Buchan is the disease guy.

The big cheesy lesion? That ain't a worm cyst.

Are you looking at the same photos?

If she's near cover probably best to shoot the fawn first. If you can't then get the doe you might pull her out with a buttolo. In the open. Doe, then fawn.

All deer can run with a H/L shot. Sika are no tougher than anything else. The HIT ammo is perfectly adequate for Sika.

Get a .30-06 instead. .25-06 is great but difficult to get ammo for, when you can it's expensive. .30-06 ammo is more available, cheaper and in a much greater range of weights etc. Plus, .270 is DEFRA's minimum recommended calibre for boar so with .30-06 you're okay for shooting pigs.

@Buchan will know I reckon

Saga 3 inch.

Speak to them. You'd be surprised how far a haunch of venison goes. I have shot rabbits foxes and deer in much smaller gardens than 4 acres and in rows of houses. A busybody can complain about you shooting on a 1000+ acre estate. If what you are doing is safe and legal then what's the problem?

You don't own a 10/22?

There are already copper .22lr bullets available in the UK. CCI, Norma and RWS produce them.
