Have done similar, deer used to keepers truck going round feeding so grab a lift with him & hop out leaving him to drive on as usualA little disappointed my old mate. Using one of the devil's tools to find deer, thought you were old style.
I used to carry a 30/30 on my Gator when keepering in Sika country. Quite usual to see hinds on rides in the big blocks. Drive past leave it running and sneak back. Just a Whinnie with a 4x scope, perfect for 50 to 100 yarders.
Also, shooting crows, two shooters walk in & one walks out leaving the other to shoot when the crows return.
