After his first fox the other night we saw Muntjac feeding on the edge of the field, keen to get his first deer we met up at 8 with a brief about what where and how I expect him to do.
Light breeze in out face was the key, I looked up the headland for our quarry with the bins and he tapped me on the shoulder whispering " I think there are fallow out there"
So I whispered back, all Bucks so if they come down the slope and in range **** the Muntjac...lol
It took around 10 mins with a mozie attack every few seconds for them to get in range what I was happy with.
I used the time to let him watch them cross each other also pick the kill area... the choice was 2 out the 3 as the third was a bit of a lump!
More whispering...." I am shaking" good so am I lol....It is side on, ok I will stop it be ready. Oi....Whack from the .270.
I could here me saying RE LOAD.....
The Buck ran around 20 yards...
125 yards off the sticks and a very happy shooter ( but he forgot to smile in the pic)
Guessing 60 kg but when he comes over to help skin it then the big scales will come out.
