weejohn Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Shot 2 more bucks yesterday, both were very frustratingly bedded down together. I shot the first through the neck , the second made a run for it but i tracked it down and after about 2 hours watching , waiting for it to stand up with my feet wet and starting to go numb, i just shot it in the head but in the process ruining its scull. It was my first 6 pointer and a very heavy big beast. I also found this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weejohn Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 At this rate it will need a new barrel next year Not really done much long range stuff although i was shooting at a rock 400m away the other night. That will be it for a wee while now martin, i have no room left in the freezer. I am still gutted i needed to shoot the bigger beast in the head i really wanted a nice mount from it.

re'M'ington Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I'd be a hypocrite if I said anything about head shooting John,but,you can always turn the shot up for another day mate.Here's one I shot a few yrs ago,through the head smashing most of the skull,so a very harsh sawing was in order................... Martin p.s. I turn up as many head shots as I take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Not having any roe stalking of my own, but plenty of fallow. Expriance has led me to the following... A prominant saying has always rang true "they will always come again" Be it, had you left that animal or another presents itself the oppertunity for a mount will present itself.
