Title: lifetime Roe Deer
Post by: kibok&ko on July 12, 2011, 02:29:00 AM: Hello the gang ... some news from the far EAST ...

down there in the french south alps i loose recently the bowhunting territory i was sharing with others people .... but cos i'm a nice & gentle boy i still have many hunters friends ...

One of them , thank again to him , took me out hunting on his place last WE , i put a tree stand in a area where he told me there was the limit of territory of 2 monsters roe deer

one month ago already i went there looking for signs of roe deer activity and choosing a place to stay

FInaly when last fryday afternoon i climb to my stand I saw nothing exept 3 wilds boars travelling somewhere and up to september its not legal to shot one ...

just before the night i tryed to reproduce the call of a young and affraid roe deer with a special little APPEAU, we are at the very just beginning of the roe deer rut, just like a small repetition ...

one of the old guy of the place decided to come to see what or who was disturbing his place

it was a really big one trophee roe deer no way to try to picture him ... but just to be focus an get ready ...

i was lucky to get a shot ... not very confident about the angle i came back early the next morning ...

Signs were good ...

(http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn293/lossogwan/P1010976.jpg)

the arrow was full of good red blood

(http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn293/lossogwan/P1010979.jpg)

crossing the dust road , still more blood but a fox sign too ... ouch not good not good ...

(http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn293/lossogwan/P1010982.jpg)

more blood ... suddenly y hear something running ... i look up and finaly i saw my roe deer on the ground ...

(http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn293/lossogwan/P1020051.jpg)

he was stone dead, was i just heard running on the dry leaves was probably the fox who had eaten a part of the back leg where the arrow get out and one of the ears too ...

(http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn293/lossogwan/P1020020-1.jpg)

Very nice moment and very first hunting shot with this old but "new to me " Bear TD with his B50 string ... a very very very good bow, not quick but so quiet and easy to shoot to ... very happy with this old bow

(http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn293/lossogwan/P1020039.jpg)

One thousand thanks to my friend and thank you to papa Bear to

Ciao / David

I score for SCI and must say I've never seen such a Roe buck. Mass around bases - and everywhere else - is incredible !!

Congrats and well done. :notworthy: :clapper:

Post by: FOXXNTROUT on September 01, 2011, 09:37:00 PM: how long between you finding the deer and the fox chewing off the ear???
Title: Re: lifetime Roe Deer
Post by: kibok&ko on September 02, 2011, 08:58:00 AM: Hello, to answer to your question i shoot it just before the night, something half an hour an found him early in the morning with the first sun shine light, let said something like 8 hours ... i was lucky the fox eat only one ear and a small part of leg where the arrow went off ... and lucky too that wild boars don't found the roe deer too .. the fox found him probably just before me ...
