take the chance, must be quite a few clean on your ground from what i hav seen in the area ;)
 
I suppose it depends if you consider yourself to be managing deer, or if in the scheme of things something to hang on the wall is more important.
I'd shoot bucks in velvet, but each to their own.
 
Ive stot lots of bucks in velvet and don't have eny problems with does till 31st march.... my point is its a long season and i like then to be fit and at there best respect for my quarry and i dont only cull 1 or 2 per year my lads will have 50+ to catch up with

Well can i be the first on the forum this year to say i scored this mornng at 7.20 a.m.!!!! :oops: :oops: No its not what your thinking guys. Left a clean mature fella to continue his prodigy and took a nice little yearling in velvet after a cracking stalk onto a stubble field. Good luck to you all for the new season. :lol: :p
 
Well done you lucky bugger, I will not get out until this evening, the afternoon if I can manage it. I bet the big old boy I have had my eye on comes over all shy :eek:

Out tonight 1st time on new land. Hasnt been shot heavily for a few years so I imagine that there'll be a lot of sh ite to clear out (if the poachers havent beaten me to it. :rolleyes:)
 
Out this weekend on my lease in Sussex with Wadashot joining me :D lots of deer moving two weeks back, and a big cull ahead for this season.

Looking forward to it, will let you know what occurs ;)

All the best to everyone for the season.

Went out for a few hours yesterday evening and saw nothing except a big hole in the fence

I didn't mind a bit though it was a beautiful evening and a joy to be out in the woods.

I had the opposite problem to JayB - went out last night and saw plenty but couldn't get a shot! Firstly couldn't get into the highseat I was heading for due to 4 roe sunbathing underneath it - very flat area though and couldn't get a shot at either of the yearling bucks. Eventually got into the highseat watched a munty for a bit, again couldn't get a shot as he stayed behind bushes/hedges. Then the 4 roes re-appeared about 200yds out and I watched them for another 20 mins while they gradually wandered slowly away from me grazing without showing anything more than rump. And at the same time a female munty appeared, but she didn't show any signs of being pregnant so left her alone.

Still, a beautiful spring night to be out and first time I've seen the bats out this year, and also watched a woodcock flaoting around above me at dusk.
