Well after chasing Fallow deer for a few years now and not being successful I finally got one on the ground.
After trying to get the drop on this fella over the previous two days I worked out his routine and got into position above his game trail and waited.
As he came along he stopped at 4 yards form me, a bit closer than I had expected. He was standing behind a forked tree and only his head, neck and rear were in my shooting lane.
As he raised his head and scented the wind I knew it was all over so I took the shot into the base of his neck cutting a major artery as the red claret gushed he took off up the hill whacking his antlers on a large tree before stopping turning and doing a dead run straight into the ground as he tried to run down the mountain.
