I love a good hornet.

Like others have said, when I was a lad, a keeper who took me under his wing used a Hornet for everything, including Fallow.

Great tool for the job even old school lamping

Probably, apart from that the whole video is a fiasco, looking at the fences you could chase the animal all day, about as wild as VSS is fallow.

You could chase them for sure, but is is easier said than done on 5000 acres…

As most on here will know, I shot a lot of Fallow with a .22rf as a youth. I shot a lot more when the farmer got a BIG rifle (a .22 Hornet). My first bought rifle was a Hornet, which I used on Fallow for 3 years. I never lost a deer and had total confidence in my rifle. Were it legal now I would use a .22 Hornet for Munty and Roe. People do not realise how versatile this little cartridge is at a reasonable range.

I shot my first deer - and several since, with a 22rf. It wouldn't be my first choice, but it cannot be denied that given the right shot placement deer won't walk away from it.

A hornet is more betterer for sure.
