Decided to pop out for the last hour of light last night to try and catch up with a troublesome fox. Set my self up in a simple lean to highseat which in sited against an oak tree, itself 60 yards away from the wood edge and surrounded by wheat. The dog was sat below and to one side.

After ten minutes or so I see a roe buck coming across the wheat field heading back to the wood. He past 10 yards away from the foot of the highseat before seeing the dog, curiosity got the better of him so he looped round so he was stood directly below me, between the ladder and the tree. At this point he was about 2 yards from the dog, who I guess was wondering why the buck had not dropped dead yet (I already have venison in the fridge). Still not sure the buck retreated and came around the back of the trunk. At this point it was too much for my hound who stood up and took a pace forward, electric reaction from the buck but he only ran thirty metres before stopping and looking again, with plenty of barking into the bargain before he decided discretion was the better part of valour and trotted off into the wood.

Unfortunately as it was such a warm evening I was not wearing my normal stalking jacket, which has my camera in its pocket, so no piccy of the close encounter.

Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that who cares? ....... He's a mile away and you've got his shoes!
