Success on a Roe Buck

I was out looking for the stags but this guy popped his head up in the wheat field, I could just see his neck so sticks up and neck shot at 95 yards, he is being dropped off to an old couple in my village today.

Taking shots like me now? Well done, and nice job sharing the wealth!

Yes I learnt from you

Edit, to be fair it was @leec270 who introduced me to the quad sticks I use, no good for hauling up a mountain, but perfect for hunting coyotes/lowland hunting, forget the bipod, they are good out to around 200 yards I kid you not.

Another successful evening, the wheat had just been cut and I looked across the valley to see this buck, a doe, and a single red hind feeding.
In my experience, see a red hind feeding on her own this time of year without a calf in tow there is something wrong, possibly very old, or maybe even has TB.
Anyway, I knocked the buck over, a bit cheeky as I used the combine harvester to obscure me as I sneaked up, the .243 did the job again, mainly because it's the only 'deer legal calibre' I own at the moment, hopefully a .308 will be added in the near future.
This one is being enjoyed by a couple of pensioners in my village.
