Greenbear Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Following a a trip down to Bodmin for Reds I was lucky enough to come across the best shown below. The weekend had been arranged with Keith Cann and it was to comprise of a Saturday morning and afternoon stalk and then a Sunday morning stalk bfore leaving for home. Saturday morning was a complete disaster (for me) as I made the cardinal sin of not putting enough layers on and I froze my welsh knackers off before first light, breakfast at Lifton couldn't come soon enough! That evening and with a few extra layers I was back in the high seat keenly awaiting any action, I didn't have to wait long as within an hour the animal showed himself briefly through the forest cover long enough for me to get a shot in. The resulting thud confired a good hit, the deer walked off so I gave it 5 minutes to relax and cool off before going after him. I made my way to where the deer was hit and saw him lying approx 30 feet away he was hit hard lying down, I was just debating a follow on shot when Keith arrived and quickly dispatched the animal for me. In all a great weekend was had, the Sunday was quiet but we can't be greedy, Keith certainly looks after you and provides excellent hospitality and great stalking, I cant wait for a further trip down in december. I really hope the phots come out as its my first attempt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
