Deerhunting pics and stories

steyrprohunter

Is anyone interested in sharing their pictures from deer they've hunted over the last few years or any tales to tell?! My 4 young sons love looking at pics of deer and one is making up a scrap album with deer hunted here. Anything is good to post thanks.

I've more pics stuck on another laptop and somewhere on old phone memory cards.

My first deer pics were not on digital cameras so I'd have to scan them, and the quality is not great.

headed of early 1 evening to set up net,but when i got there seen a herd out grazing,dropped everything and started crawling they were about 5-600 yards away, after 20 min of crawling was within 200yards at this stage, got this urge to look behind me , and here was a this pricket standing about 70-80 yards behind me standing looking at me, i must be a good stalker because i crept in a past him ha ha, just rolled over and from where i was lying BANG, second 1 was just dark 1 evening,nice shot about 180 yards to edge of wood heart and lung shot, but ran into wood so had to find him in the dark, i need a dog....

hi guys,
iv got permission from a farmer to shoot on his moutain in n.ireland recently, aparently theres a lot of big reds on his land.
anyway iv been trying to find out whats the story with shooting in the north,
do i need a deer hunting licence ?
( iv done a quick search and all iv found is that you dont need a deer hunting licence to hunt deer, except on enclosed land )
( enclosed land ??? )
does my southern gun licence cover me in the north or do i need a permit to bring it up there ? and if so whats the process ?

ArdeeStalker,
Yes, you must have a license to hunt deer. The farmer owns the land and domestic animals, but not wild animals, such as deer.

YOu most definitely do need a Northern Ireland gun licence, your southern one is only valid in Ireland. First you'll need to get a EFP (europen firearms pass ), then apply for a permit up north. AFAIK its like the uk where you need a sponsor to vouch for you.

As far as I know they recenlty scrapped the need for a game licence up there.

ArdeeStalker

thanks tfox,
i think your right about the sponser thing, iv downloaded permit forms from the PSNI that require me to have a sponser in the north, this allows me to carry firearms and ammunition in the north but does anyone know anymore about the situation with the deer licence, theres no info on the web about how to get one, all iv found is that you dont need one ( except on enclosed land , what ever that means ), sounds a bit odd :eek:

During the sika rut last year, I sat watching some hinds and calves grazing on the hill, there were lots of stags calling that evening, so I knew it would be only a matter of time before a good stag appeared. After half an hour a pricket showed up out of the wood and grazed along with them, I watched him for a while, Then a nice lump of a six pointer limped his way up out of the trees off to my right, obviously he'd been ran out of town! I let him off, it was at least half an hour yet before it would get dark and I was after something a bit bigger. A while later there was a huge commotion from the bushes behind and below me, I turned to look and I could see the white tips of a big stags antlers, he was just over 200 yards away! why do they always show up in the wrong place?, .. I scrambled around.... the hinds heard me and let out an alarm whistle.... He stopped and stood for a second, just long enough for me to get a shot off... as he was a long way downhill of me the bullet passed straight down his neck into the chest cavity clipping his heart, he ran for about fifty yards before keeling over.:D

Here is a pic of him hanging in the cold room,


Got his head measured, he was a good bronze. he was 57 Kg cleaned out.
