I was out stalking yesterday afternoon at some woodland of which i and 5 others lease the stalking on, i was with 2 of the other stalkers, an on arival we decided which high seats we each wanted to go to, and we went our seperate ways, i got setled into my seat, i had been there about an hour and a half, when a buck walked out 170yards to my left, it was a 6 pointer, no medal but not a bad head, it was quatered towards me with with its head down feeding, so i took a kneck shot, but just as the trigger was breaking the deer lifted it head, clean miss! The deer ran 30 yards and stoped broad side on to me , so i took the engine out, the second shot was good but the deer ran into the wood, i waited 15 mins, by this time the other 2 stalkers had walked to my location, so we set off to try and find it, when we got to spot the deer was struck, we found a good blood trail, we followed the trail to the wood at witch the blood stoped, we crawled through the wood for an hour with no sign of blood or deer. This is the first deer i have had run, and the first deer ive lost, the lads said it might be the first, but it wont be the last deer you lose in woodland, i havnt been able to stop thinking about it though, just keep thinking i should of gone for the kneck again
