AndyCM Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 The weather was just right this afternoon for a Roe Buck stalk After a slow stalk in to the highseat I got sat up nice and early, about 4:30pm to take in the sights and sounds of the countryside. I saw a green woodpecker sitting on a post and glassed the rough ground in front for any signs of deer sitting up. Then "Oscar.......Oscar.......OSCAR" was heard in the distance...mmmmmm Sunday walkers with a mutt doing its own thing. Well I thought if there are any deer between me and the dog walkers that will stir them up A minute or two later along come three Roe, two Does and a nice looking Buck, making their way slowly in front of me around 120 yards away. In the bins he looked a fine beast. Crosshairs up, and tracked him moving between the cover..... another few yards and he'll present a nice shot. He stopped for a second looking over his shoulder and settled, starting to browse. Head down, head up, head down, head up....crosshairs on his neck and he's down from a 140g Game King in 7mm-08. Thanks Oscar, you have potential as a beater Cheers AndyCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moses Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 He looks a fine animal Andy, well done mate. Colour on his face looks interesting, with his summer coat coming through. I reckon he'd look good on your wall. ATB Moses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flytie Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Andy, I should try and note the time "Oscar" is walked, and use him again. A small gift to his ownner might not go amiss either. Well done chap! Atb, ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it heavy ? as hard to see from photo. Well done Oscar............ Hi Foxhunter, Yes, a well set Buck, we're hoping a younger Buck will now move in to be harvested in a few weeks. Thanks for the comments. Cheers AndyCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
