Evening guys and gals I am fairly new to stalking about 3 years however have learnt a lot from some good friend and the experience I was out early this morning and got a beautiful roe buck 7 pointer been trying to get him for about 2 years eventually this morning at 6 am walked down the farm spotted a deer in the field the other side of the reveen so got tucked in the hedge roe to see what it was it was a doe then spotted to kids behind looked like 2 does then on the other corner 2 more doe well peed off then spotted a doe kid and a buck the one I have been chasing for 2 years plus then in the far corner another doe with 2 kids now this is all in one field the nearest was about 250 yards the buck was in the far right corner at about 600 yards too far for me so waited and watched for another buck anyway the next farm has a pheasant pen in the next field and must have been feeding up as spooked all the deer 11 in total on a 20 acre stubble but only one buck anyway the buck ran and I lost sight and waited I was on the opposite side of the raveen anyway he appeared right in the middle of the field and stopped at aprox 150 yards looking straight at me neck shot and dropped him stone dead left it 10 mins in case I missed a buck in nothing heart was pounding the best buck of my life been trying to get him for 2 years however his gens have been well passed on he was the dominant buck on the farm and has dune his time just one question when I grabbed his his antler sorry forgot to mention he was a seven pointer are they rare? It snapped of why is that normal or not for the antlers to snap off from the bottom I lost one on the way back to the farm and went back and found it as it was the best one i have had? I will post some photos tomorrow.
