Long walk for no shot, but a new permission got. Long deer stalk.

23-02-2011 11:18am#1I was out on Monday on my Coilte Lett and at about 9.0am I looked across the valley, about a mile off, and saw a herd of deer grazzing in a field. Having not seen any deer on my Lett so far I decided to locate these deer.
So after an hour of driving I found the farm which by road was 6 miles away. I asked the first man about seeing the deer and he told me it would be on his son's farm and directed me to the sons farm. He also told me to shoot away on his farm.
A little down the lane I met the son and told him of seeing about 15-20 deer and could I cull a couple out. He said to work away, I showed him my insurance and gave him my name and address and also asked him would he sign a permission to shot letter I had in the car (for the insurance cover). All OK. And OK to shoot next season as well.
Because of a fog now across the valley I walked the wrong way 'cos I couldn't see the orignal spot where I had seen the deer herd. So when the fog lifted I was a long way from where the herd was, about turn and found them after another hour of walking through the fields. It turned out they were all bucks so couldn't take a shot but now I know where they are.
So a long stalk/drive and after 3 hours I found the herd and got a new permission for next year. I'll be there next weekend and may then get a shot away.
Photo's off the iPhone from about 400m away, taken at 12.15pm.
Close up of the buck herd, counted 15 bucks, 6 with good nearly full heads on them and the rest knoblers or prickets.

and by the way you were gasping ... you were glad you didn't have a long drag ahead of you ...
And your the B88L8x that rang me but that didn't spook the deer I managed that myself.
I was thinking after it would have killed me to drag one back to the road, I can see the headlines now 'Man found attached by drag rope to a deer, dead but with a big smile on his face'0 -

Nah, it'd go more like "Man found dead in bondage situation with deer. Police and local SPCA are investigating."0 -
