cooperman223 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I set my self a challange to get this lad on film, he has been holding this piece of ground which is very hard to get into, you can only get a chance when the wind is right, last night i thought it worth a try for him, two hours later and i was in position, it was just a waiting game, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1967spud Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 yep i didnt expect a shot either, must admit i had the sound up loud as i was listening to acdc through headphones and i must have jumped a foot at the sound of the shot, well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperman223 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 It was a solo trip, it is a bit@h of a place to get into, to get the wind right, it took two hours to get into position, i could have done with some help, it ended up being a two trip removal, once for the rifle/camera/tripod, etc then back for the buck. It was 10.30 before i was back at the motor with all the kit. I will post a photo of the head tomorrow. I think it will make bronze ?. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperman223 Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 So what is behind the "target" ?? john. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingzy Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 It looks like a forest path where anyone could appear from!! There is no back stop and would be considered a dangerous shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytie Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Fantastic footage! I too was surprised by the shot I know that film can be deceptive and we were not seeing the same angle that you took the shot from, was there a safe backstop?

cooperman223 Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 "It looks like a forest path where anyone could appear from!! There is no back stop and would be considered a dangerous shot. " You obviously have no idea about what you are talking about, the land where the shot was taken from, what is behind the trees, etc ""It looks like a forest path where anyone could appear from!!" It is not a forest path, the track was made to allow access to re-planting/felling about 20years ago, There is no public access to the land, it is privatly owned, it is gated and padlocked and sign posted. "There is no back stop and would be considered a dangerous shot. " How do you know what the backstop is ?? if you think it is a dangerous shot then please tell us what is behind the deer !! I know what is behind it, i know how many acres of mature trees are behind it, the topography of the land, i know it is safe, thats why i took the shot. john.

John, Thank you I knew there would be a reasonable explanation. The veiw from the camera angle does not let us know what there is behind. You know the ground, we don't. Perhaps one or two people here should remember the old proverb, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone". No matter whatever anyone else says, i say well done. Getting the shot would have been enough for me, but to film it yourself too.................... Wow! Atvb, ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
