Well the Malcenator and Sandra turned up nice and early Sunday afernoon.
Recon them Dorset Doorsteps of mine had em drooling
Off out Sunday evening Malc was determined on getting Sandra her first deer after getting so close on a fallow buck the previous day.
Checking the wind we went in at the bottom entrance where a huge 8 pointer was immediately spotted..
But due to every bloody cow in Dorset running alongside us we were busted before we started.
Splitting up i walked on to the top fields and busted a good few hinds on the way
Approaching a place id had some previous luck i couldnt believe there were around 7 stags and 20 hinds out feeding nice and early.
Inching in i propped myself against a post and with a stable position on the sticks took a big 7 pointer dropping on the spot, quickly reloading i took a nice six pointer and to my amazement the hinds had grouped together but werent moving and dropped a spiker aswell
About 10 seconds from first shot at around 150 yards and all three were down..
I sent Malc a text saying i had three down and with an abundance of stags seen previously did he want me to take some more..
Thinking i was joking a text came through saying Yes, but on hearing my voicemail my phone ringing had me unload..
I was absolutely made up as on answering the phone Malc informed me Sandra had taken her first deer.. A beautifull six pointer with a good sized head
This was Sandra's first deer so we were absolutely on cloud nine as she had taken it at 175 yards off sticks after many practice sessions.
We took care of the grallochs and pictures with Malc telling me he was going to cape Sandra's stag which after being out on the boar the previous evening and only two hours kip didnt quite register until the head was off and in me hand..
As penance ive boiled it out and cut it tonight for when they get back..
Malc, Sandra and Mark - cervushunter are out tonight and ive just heard Mark has taken his first Sika, a nice spiker..
Recon well be celebrating again tonight and will get some pickies up later..
