Sunday saw me making my way to Heathrow to meet 3 clients from Finland. The plan was to meet to Andy (Tikka 308) up at the BB in Bedfordshire and then hunt over the next 4 outings on the three areas I have.
The largest area is 2000 acres, with two more totalling 600 acres, one of which is alive with Muntjac. The first outing was hampered by cold strong wind which did not help at all. However the weather changed the next day and the deer started to show. The shooting could have been more consistent, but then a great many Finnish people are not used to shooting off sticks, which when hunting CWD on some of the large fields I have makes it difficult.
Anyway we managed 3 CWD, one possibly medal quality, and 2 Muntjac. But if we had a bit more luck we would have had 8 on the floor for 4 outings and 3 clients. None the less 3 happy clients and return booking in place for next year.
My grateful thanks to Andy, (senior guide PH) I believe is the new title but that has yet to be confirmed by Grand dad aka JAYB!! For the cracking guiding and help over the 3 days.
