My first ever deer.

E. Fudd · 28-09-2008 4:10pm #1

Went out this morning for a stalk, very quiet, but luckily I managed to get this fella. Necked him at about 70 yards. Absolutely delighted with myself.
Thanks to JWShooter for getting me in on him and showing me what to do after the shot. F***er took some pleasure in watching me dragging him back to the jeep!! And he's only a little pricket! God help me when I shoot his daddy!:D

Please, in future, do not respond to posts like that. Just hit the report post button and myself or one of the other mods will turn up and sort it out.

Ok i apologise for debating on the ethics of hunting. I have no objection to those who hunt for meat and not pleasure (without eating their catch) in a controlled and legal way with quotas in place. I was just slightly disgusted by the OP's picture as others were too. The deer seemed so young and the OP seemed to take more pleasure in the act than the catch which perhaps is not true. In any case, best of luck and sorry if my comments were offensive.

Congratulations mate! Nice shooting.
I still remember my first deer like it was yesterday -there's nothing like that feeling. Looks like you should have some nice meat for the table as well.

Having read the thread properly now, jaffa20 unbanned.

Everybody, please tread carefully and be civil towards each other.

If we need to split out the hunting debate into another thread, PM me and I'll do it
