I attended my first stalk at the Thoresby Estate on Saturday, On arrival John asked whether I would like go for something for the table or something larger, I opted for something for the table.
We headed out looking for a suitable Fallow and although we had eyes on plenty a safe shot was not available, this was the story for the Whole of the morning.
Even when my 3 hours were up John continued and tried to get me a suitable chance but it was not in our favour.
I wasn’t expecting to go out first time and get a shot and was happy with the morning and the knowledge John has shared.
We headed back to the truck and he said he would drive us to another area so I could see the Reds and at least I would have seen the four species at Thoresby.
When we were over in the other woodland a Muntjac buck presented and John passed me the estate rifle and offered me the shot.
I had a great morning, John went above and beyond and gave up a good chunk of His afternoon off and I am very grateful for the experience and am hoping to attend the DSC1 course there early this year.
