ejg223 Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 After a couple blank outings after sika at last lucky. Got up at 4, collected "sika stalker" and off down to kerry. We split up to two different high seats. It turned out to be a beatiful morning without rain! Ground was very wet. I couldn't get a line on a spike that passed through and because we didin't have a dog along didn't want to risk anything, let him go. Later a nice sika stag walked towards me, took him at 85m. Didn't want to destroy him or his antlers so a low head shot. Found the 165gr SST later just behind atlas joint. Nice healthy fat animal, nice morning and good company. Thanks sika stalker. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejg223 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Thanks martin & 308, sika are great animals, in heavy cover they are like ghosts. Pat, I have one of those comercial coke bottle fridges from a petrol station. Took me a while to find the setting, but have it now just over freezing temp. They work well. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejg223 Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Thanks for the replies, that's part of our sport, having high quality food. The glands, liver, lungs and gut all looked so perfect on this animal. So I'm really looking forward to a bit of cooking. My family is a bit finicky with venison and game so I have to be quite inventive. From now on it'll only be spikes until November. regards edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
