A happy chappie (with breeze) after a doe made the tree line at beyond dusk.
She made a great track down and I finnished her off (the deer not the dog).

"Ali barbers slipper"
It walked very badly and had to be shot.
I allowed the client 1 shot as it was on the edge of his limit, he clean missed it off the sticks so I took his rifle and shot it in the neck @ 145m's. (I had explained the need to cull it and if he missed his chance to pass the rifle).
He understood and wasn't put out I shot his gun better then him......Its about confidence and practice, and doing the right thing.
He had shot a doe earlier that morning so was confident.
She was a little thin but not in bad nick considering, she was also in young.

he couldn't
but he was off to my right by about 2 yards so it probably was a near miss.
Still better than a bad hit.

Should have been on my holiday today (pig shooting in Bavaria, which went tits up), so having a few days off to put high seats up and sort out some doe boxes.
Any hows my body clock woke me up this morning so I thought I'd call in on the nursery I look after (alone Max hads done his back chewing with a high seat on friday)(get well for the end of the week fella, we have some deer to cull in Norfolk).
So I arrived and looked in MY usual field only slots and no deer, so over the road onto the ground Max usually stalks *stirrer* , Nothing till near the end when a last glass exposed 4 deer 2 big bucks and 2 does eating the new shoots.
So onto the sticks I clicked on the red dot on my varipoint and settled the rifle on the sticks.
I had to wait a wee while for the doe to expose her flank I than put the dot on her heart and then I unleashed the 139 privvi sp, she stood up on her front feet kicking her back legs out almost verticle and ran 10m's before expireing on the hoof.
The other 3 startled and ran about 40m's parralell to me. They were still within my safe shot area but the doe was stood infront of the biggest buck.
I had reloaded and stood still on the sticks for about 7-8 minutes before she stepped to the left and away from the buck.
I re-aquired her chest slid off the saftey and repeated the excersise once more. She feel dead to shot.
So I dragged one to the other after making sure they were dead and making my rifle safe.
Had a photo or 2,

and began to gralloch the beasts.
It was evident from the deers reactions the shots were good.
The gralloch agreed with this.

My 6.5 is set up for clients so I have to wear the mod (for karl ***wist*** ***hmmm** *giggle* ) (The mod is an alloy custom and is just over 550gms and over barrel so it doesn't bother the balance at all) and it is useful on this venue, I also have to use factory ammo (privvi)(£10 a box) through it for insurance needs.
But I have seen so many clients kill so many deer with this outfit I no longer hand load for it for my own use.

A nice day today and after bollocking up a stalk and a dog walker knackering another we were blessed with a late doe.

Tonight was balls'ed up when a tractor came and top dressed the field we were in with little time to move, when we did we met another dog walker who had lost a dog in the wood apparently last seen chasing a deer.
