calling up a fallow buck
16/04/07 09:10 PM

Hi guys, the Fallow rut didnt really kick in were I was hunting, however I tried grunting through a sawn off cow horn, and was able to call in to 20 meters this Fallow stag. No monster by any standards, however it was right on dark when I realised he had sneaked up to me, and although I could see his antlers and some palms it was too dark to tell of his trophy potential. I didnt have any time to really make a decision so my insticts took over and I shouldered my rifle. He took off at the shot and I thought I may have missed, as I could hear him running into some thicker scrub. I looked around for him for a hour or so with a mini mag lite without any luck.
I came back the next day and found him in a thick patch of scub (behind the deer in the photo) as he had run about 80 - 90 meters. I had shot him a little far back and by the next day the foxes had a feast on his back half, so I only salvaged the antlers. Nevertheless it was very exiting having a stag come in so close whilst calling them in.

Cheers, Tony.
