this is one of my efforts ,not shot by me
but still an interesting pic all the same
sorry that is in 2 parts as the person in question was told it was a ballie head and not worth measuring, so dumped it in the end of the garden
almost lost for ever
Aye.
Coming to Ireland for the Sika was always the highlight of my sporting year.
I was first over in 1971 shooting for the England DTL clay pigeon team.
At the International Banquet I was introduced to Paddy M, one of the Irish top shots and a stalker also.
He was a member of the old Ardbrae Game Assn. and we arranged shooting exchanges.
Over the years I have had over here about 28 different Irish stalkers through that first contact .
Bill O`T and son Geoff. were over for a few days recently and G got a nice 8inch 6 point buck with me and a 3 pointer with a friend of mine.
8 pointer Roebuck.
[Shot in 1963.]
My Mentor of the Roe, the late Bill Grant , said that such a head could be the ultimate achievement after a LIFETIME of stalking.
It was C.I.C. measured by the late G. Kenneth Whitehead at 104.35 points. He said that if I had not been so savage with the saw it would have been a Bronze.
I never cut a scull to be measured now.
