Is there a reason

[Sol]

That we dont have a deer related thread that's long lasting and Is for general posting? It strikes me as unusual that some of the most active long lasting threads on a stalking forum usually has nothing to do with deer, has there been one made in the past that I missed and got forgotten about or has no one ever made one?

Would be nice too drop some photos and a few words without having too make an entire new thread, or a write up.

Why dont you start one and see how it goes?

Out last night and out yesterday or today seem to do pretty well and the latter has some deer related content.

It’s because we come here to moan and argue over everything imaginable, the common denominator is we are deer stalkers, but that’s not what most want to discuss it’s an online pub

Had these two fellas in the last couple weeks as well as numerous young bucks.

I have this fella to deal with young buck jumped into a plantation while escaping a mature buck.

Got some nice Roe moving around just now.
I get bored of posting kills especially when its a regular occurrence, a really good or abnormal i would share, fully understand where your coming from.

Nothing exciting about the stalks or kills above, although the 5 pointer when shot took half a dozen steps and folded at the side of the track with me muttering "if Calsberg did deer extraction"

That I can understand as well, It seems like that's a pretty common sentiment across stalkers not every deer or stalk Is particularly unique.

It would be nice too have a thread but I'm unsure If it would keep the activity (I could try worst case scenario It dies, nothing wrong with that!) but It does seem like people foxing and sorts are more keen too share stories on a daily basis than a few write up per year.

The ease with the foxing side is there is none of the nonsense that the deer side gets..dont need to justify calibre choice, shot placement, bullet type, kit used etc etc. I frankly lost the will to do write ups with the deer pretty quick as its just a "same old same old" ...went and shot some fallow...did the same again Good bit of sensible banter (well apart from my input perhaps) helps

 

[WalkedUp]

Perhaps for casual readers, myself included, the individual threads are easier to follow. (I am very much not a natural reader or writer, give me maths or mechanics any day.) It also means the deer stalking and similar write-ups are more visible, rather than being buried within very long-running threads.

Even a short post with one line and a picture is appreciated. If you have missed the start of one of the longer threads, it can be difficult to catch up or feel able to engage.

The first place I usually drop into is the write-ups sub-forum. If I have been away for a while, I tend to go through it and catch up on anything I have missed, one thread at a time.

That said, I do not often write up deer stalks myself, so I cannot acclaim too much! I mostly post random bits that entertain me. I selfishly enjoy even the simplest stalking write-ups though, particularly where there are photos, and especially videos.

Agree with this one. I switch of when it's in the gutter " I shoot 1 moa regardless of conditions" " well I shoot 0.9moa" and so forth. Eventually lads splitting atoms with 300 win mags. META HUMANS

I do that on a daily basis yet don`t see you participating Sol.

Sounds like it would be too generalised (kind of like the whole deerstalking general section in one thread)?

Maybe because not many shoot deer

It always ends up in chaos.

Foxing and rabbitting has no problem with posts.

Why did you head shoot those rabbits?
I wouldn't use a .17 HMR on Foxes
Using stupid NV or thermal is cheating ...should use a lamp and shotgun
Willy waving if you shoot something over 50 yards ...blah blah blah
