foxhunter Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I was out this morning at 4am and came across this fella wandering up a hedgerow. I had glassed him from about 500 yards away and planned my stalk to intercept him at the end of the hedgerow. I stalked down the far side of an adjoining hedge and quickly got to within 200 yards of him , by this time he had stopped and was content feeding. I crossed through the hedge and made my way slowly towards him hidden by the growing wheat until I was around 120 yards away. The edge of the field was ploughed which allowed me to utilise my bipod :clapper: He went straight down .................... I was very surprised to see he was still in full winter pelage ........

moses Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Nicely done, sounds like an enjoyable stalk. He looks a nice animal, as you say strange to see him in full winter pelage at this time of year. ATB Moses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxhunter Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 I would have said he was relatively young as no wear on his teeth and had small coronets on his antlers but as said cant understand why he was in winter pelage as he had a good body weight and was in good condition ...........
