foxhunter Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Went for a stalk last night and decided to hug the boundary as a new regeneration hedge has been planted and I wanted to see if there was any deer damage. Well a buck had certainly been fraying this sapling . So I continued stalking round to a small copse that held deer , as I arrived I spied a doe in the wood strolling about. I then headed for another small copse , I glassed it from about 500 yards away and was lucky enough to spot a buck coming out of the wood and heading down a fence line. I stalked up the fence line carefully glassing all the time as the buck had vanished from my view. As I approached near where I last saw him it was take 1 step and glass take another and glass. When suddenly the buck appeared from nowhere only 20 yards from me , I must admit I got a bit excited at being so close but managed to calm down , I altered my sticks to a shorter height but the buck had now stood behind a tree . I waited til he re-appeared and placed the cross hairs on his neck , he dropped immediately at a very close range of about 12 yards. I really enjoyed that stalk more than the shot .
