varminter Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I been checking some new ground which i picked up the permission on just before Christmas recently!!! Now that the syndicate has stopped shooting and things have settled , i have been spending a bit more time checking the ground out!! There is quite allot of sporadic woods around this area and had a report from the farmer that on the last shoot of the season the syndicate pushed 4 roe out of the wood!!! I have seen 2 myself whilst out on the ground Foxing at night!! This weekend i thought i would concentrate on this area and had a Saturday early morning / evening stalk - wait up , but no luck apart from seeing a Fox disappear into the wood!!! The Sunday i gave it a miss in the morning but went out in the evening!! I went to the spot where i had seen the Roe in the rape field but the wind was in the wrong direction!! So i went across to another area that has been looking promising, i can lay on the other side of the hedge where i can watch the wood from some 230yds or so away!! Just as the light was fading and i was thinking no luck but still a lovely evening out , i spotted 2 light colored patches on the edge of the wood!!! I had a look through the geovids and confirmed it was 2 Roe does!!! the 2 Roe does came towards me and then stopped at 121yds , i then shouldered the 6PPC waiting for a nice side on shot!! , I gave it a while and it was obvious it was not going to happen!! , so with the light fading i dropped the first Doe with a head shot!! The second doe ran off and stopped by the edge of the wood some 200yds away!! , the shot was safe so i dropped that as well with the 6PPC and 85 grain nosler SBBTs......... the PPC and the 85 grainers are a cracking combination - superbly accurate ( deer legal ) and hardly no recoil so you see everything from your shot!! What a fantastic end to a lovely evening!!!! The freezer shall be looking more full now too!!! All the best............... RAY.............................
