Been seeing a decent buck browse this field edge at odd times all week, so decided to stalk into the area and see if he makes another appearance. Not a bad afternoon for it, it has to be said!

 

[Scandially]

Not much of a backstop W.S.?
Nice spot for a picnic tho'.

None stop rain since 6am, roof leaking, conservatory the same, heavy rain forecast all week. Better finish the Ark I think.

Did he show up ?

Did he show up ?

He sure did, thanks. Had to wait for a shot as the barley is getting up there, but managed a high shoulder shot at about 140 yards that dropped him on the spot.



Incidentally, I've heard it's the sign of a true expert to soak your own gear by accidentally throwing a p*ss-filled bladder at it. Not saying I've actually done this or anything . . .

Backstop is perfectly adequate, thank you. Perhaps you should get out shooting more?

Well done, weather still looks good there. Don't wear your gear in the rut, wash it all first

I think that idea has some merit

Now what a REAL expert would do would be to drag the (previously clean) carcass right through the open rumen, smearing green over absolutely everything.

Is that to wash the blood off your rifle?

Nah. A rub down with gravel takes care of that . . .

Browning A-bolt in .270

Hope you're not out trophy hunting again.

Don’t you hate it when they come armed, good job you shot it before it saw you.
