Hi John,
Nice video. I see Breeze is on form after her little holiday. How are the eyes?

Well i had seen this doe about a month ago and tried 3-4 times for a shot at her from the box she was near.
Anyway on the way in last night with a client (a complete novice and rifle man(other then airguns) he had done well on the steel cut out but not that well) she was already out some 30m's from the box.
We had no way of getting close enough for him to shoot so I explained why i must take the rifle and perform the deed.
He was happy with this and i left him some 175m's from where she was feeding. I took my estate rifle from him and walked towards her accross the field. She wasn't aware of me and i made about another 25m's on her. I knelt down and readied myself on the sticks i dialed in 150m's on the scope and took the shot making perfect H/L shot she jumped and ran about 30m's before expiring.
As it was still early We still went and sat in the box and later we had 2 does come out and feed but no bucks showed which was a shame as there are 2 known in that area.

they are really good now, no mistyness or soreness, not taking so many drops now either.
spotting deer well and would say when they are peaking (midday) its better vision then i had with glasses on.
 
saw some real crackers this morning but sid just wanted a smaller deer for his first. Any way almost done and we saw this fellow nerly back at the truck.
Pheww!
A great shot off sticks @ 125m's which he took before i could press the record button.
Have some footge before the shot just paused it to allow the deer chance to go broadside and he did bang and it was done.
Well done anyway matey.

Just wanted to say a massive thankyou to Robbo.

Two great days of stalking, some brilliant scenery, four seasons in one hour :shock:, and very close to some excellent looking bucks, before getting what I needed to complete my DSC2.

Should get around to doing a write up later this week.
