I took a friend out yesterday to look for a Muntjac for his Easter table.
Headed out to one of my permissions where I get quite a few of them and sat up high for a while scanning a small meadow where I has seen a doe on the way in.
Nothing showing so I decide we would take a stroll into the woods for a little stalk.
We got half way in and stopped to see if I could call one into us and sure enough the magic worked and I had a doe and a nice buck mooch into view.
They were both interested but the doe was more curious than the buck! I got her to come in to about 50 yards before she got suspicious and high tailed it, however a few strong peeps on the Buttalo and she stopped and turned back with him in tow, mistake!
He was getting interested now and eventually stood broadside about 50 yards away looking at us wondering what we were and presenting the perfect opportunity! Good shot, he dropped on the spot with the 100g .243 round doing its job.
The work begins this morning as they are a sod to skin!
Not sure I would have carried him out like that! He bled well and was covered in ticks!!
Happy Easter folks.
