After a good stalk this chap came to us. He has very long antlers and only a brow tyne on 1 antler ("on offer"). A real danger to the other deer. We spotted him well out in a field having a mooch so drove around the back of a wood in the hope he would re- appear. We stalked down the wood edge(finlight leading), only to have him appear about 200m's away getting down on the sticks finlight made his call that he would wait for the deer to hopefully make his way up to us. A good call as he did. Just as he got closer he went broadside and I confirmed to him the shot was ok. Because of the vegitation the shot was placed in the withers(fatal), as opposed to the neck, his call and ok with me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2XxZSbW1tg The 125 partition 6.5 bullet hit both shoulders and killed him instantly. ![]() Leaving a 50p size exit (priceless).

Not a true "switch" but as you say dangerous to other deer and not a gene you would wish to promote. photopro |

Thanks alot John it's been a pleasure as always stalking with you. Didn't think today was going to be very fruitful with the heavy mist but once it cleared we started to see deer. It just goes to show a little bit of patience and things can change for the better. The 6 pointer was couched down between the young trees when spotted so a quick bark and he was on his feet slightly quartering forward but showing enough chest. The shot was taken hitting ribs going in smashing up the lungs and leaving an exit just the right side of the diaphram. Still carnt beleive it run 100 yds with no lungs and a 2" diameter exit before passing away, you just carnt predict anything in stalking. Once again thanks alot mate |
