varminter Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 As you may know i dont go stalking very often so i was over the moon to have a invite from another very good shooting friend jamie to go have a look for a roe buck!! Well we stalked a couple of fields which were knee high in grass then got over the hedge to have a look on the edge of woodland which had about 50yds of waist high grassland and gorse that then reaches out to field full of maize!! Jamie suggested i set up on me shooting sticks so he could walk slowly on edge of woodland in the waist high grass to see if a buck would stand if he was hiding in the long grass!! He was about to move when this roe buck came out chasing a doe!! We watched them for a while and i thought they was going to walk aways from us when they both came in our direction , The roe buck was chasing and feeding , i started to buzz now so took a few breaths to get the adrenaline down and waited for a classic broadside heart / lung shot !! Last thing jamie wispered to me was " 97yds and take your time they dont know we are here!! " , so i waited and then the buck offered a shot so i took it!!! with me 6.5-284........... Well what a lovely roe buck ( to me!! ) and on me birthday week too!!! So a very big thankyou jamie for making a great birthday week mate with a very special roe buck :blink: Always fancied a shoulder mount roe buck for the home and i capied this one out to be done , I think hes worth doing - what do you more experinced lads think?? Thanks again jamie All the best.............. RAY.................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

col48 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 hi - i would like to see some pictures of the beast, but that would not make my decision on what to do with it. i think you have answered your own question on the mount. it matters not if it is a medal head or if it is the worst looking beast ever shot, to you it will be a very special buck and every time you look at it it will bring back the memories you had that day. well done and pictures please ATB Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bambi-basher Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Ray I have got to pick up a Roe buck head that I have had mounted on Monday, it was not the biggest animal but was Special to me as it was the first one that my GWP pointed and I successfully shot. I have a small murder buck head on a shield in my hall, I have bigger heads lying in boxes in the garage in the loft, shed and else were but as this was the first buck I shot so I had it boiled and mounted.
