Thanks for your vote of confidence gentlemen! I think that the Bucks skin is thicker than the Does. It was like cutting through industrial strength lino. This little chap had some excellent war scars and was built like a tank!
I couldn't find the bullet entry wound until I'd carried out a full Gralloch and even then it looked like a button hole on a shirt.
I really think that these little fellas need the full nine yards when it comes to shooting them. I aim tight up to the crease of the front leg and let the 308 do the rest. the front legs fold and the rest of the body weight follows.
I'm really surprised with just how much meat there is on the ribs, back and neck too! Muntjac are the Jason Leonards of the deer world.
The Barn Owl was there again today, swooping over me. It was such a perfect morning it really was. Made going into work just bearable!
I think that we happy few are very lucky to enjoy such a nobel pass time. No one at work would understand my fascination of deer, they are more interested in 'Celeb Big Brother in the Jungle X factor'! Bloody infidels.
Stoney mate, I'm on the Calvados!
