cooperman223 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I found this buck back in April, still in velvet so i decided to wait until he was clean, after four blank trips i was begining to wish i had taken him while i had the chance. I got out early and waited for about an hour over looking a recently planted area I spotted a roe come out from the far bottom corner of the wood into the plantation, not sure if it was a buck or doe, i managed to get across most of the ground, it was very hard work, like walking on crisps, loads of branches to get over, i got the range down, and was able to confirm it was a buck, the shot was on after managing to get a good rest on the bipod off a tree stump, He went straight down, back end first, head back, clean kill. I had forgoten to take the camera, it was still in the car along with my young lab which i am just starting to train on deer to replace my old border bitch, this is the first time out for her, so i draged the deer back to the car, and let her work into the wind to find it A good result all round.

Great start for a young dog, better to let her hunt down wind and keep her nose on the deck.Cant beat the company of a good dog im sure tou all agree...
