Photos thread -Hunting. MOD NOTE in post #1.

poulo6.5

I was out this morning for a stalk and saw a couple of doe's but the frost was going against me. I might as well have bin walking on pop corn. So off they went. It was a nice morning so I didn't mind.
After that I went of target practising.
Then off to a permission that I got this year but never tried out.
Again I saw a couple or doe's but they moved off before I got a shot.
Then over a high ditch and as I was standing on the top I spotted this lad.


I was just getting my footing when he stood up (he might have winded me)
But it was to late for him. I let fly with my new 150gr hornady sst interlock and struck him in the boiler room at 100y.
He never even moved. He was dead on the spot.
It was my first time using the sst interlock and I have to say they are impressive.

Lads, Pine Martens are protected as per the Wldlife Act 1976 & 2000 which means that it is illegal to intentionally kill, injure, trap, smare, etc pine martens, or disturb their dens. Any research that could disturb pine martens, such as trapping animals or monitoring den boxes, must be done under a licence from the necessary statutory body.

So please refrain from posting pictures unless you arer 100% certain what the species is. Also please refrain from posting pictures of dead Pine Martens as even though they were found dead it will fuel the trolls/antis that would claim they were illegally killed and end up ruining the thread.

On that note i have cleaned up a few posts (nothing personal) to avoid such arguments. Any problems or issues with this PM me or one of the other Mods/CatMods.

To clarify "The big fellas" post. When he said shot I take it he meant with the camera. Thats how I read it & how it should be read to others.

We are all aware of the laws & well pointed out Eridax. :cool:

The animal was released unharmed.

they were up driving around and coming up to a round about on a dead straight road a car slaps on the breaks in front of them and they just stopped a few mm away and then (BANG)..

a women looking back at her child..

behind them and didn't see the van stopped and rote off the van..

the Gard's come out say ah ya will be able to drive it but its rote off..

the women and child was grand she was a small bit in shock but noting bad thank god..

so they lads booked into a b&b for the night so the might get a shot that morning..

drove around for a bit that morning met a farmer he said a there is a few on my land he said i own that hilly bog out the back..

so the lads go up this hill heard a big call from a red sneaked up he ren a bit then stopped there was few doe's around him and (BANGGG) stag drops delighted:D:D..

Were using two calls at the moment, i think me mate is using a multi-sound or is it mundi-sound! not sure with a loud speaker (makes all the difference) and i have an mp3 player connected to a loud speaker with a few good mag and gray calls that works well for the wary ones!

We don't use decoys, just keep on the move, give each spot ten or fifteen minutes!

ormondprop

ya i have one of them mundi sound callers and find it good, although a lot of the time the crows just circle around way too high

now i understand , it just seems a pity that you have to do it , I don't have any such concern s here in California and if I can figure out how to do it i'll post some photos .:)

As I promised some photos here are some photos , first one is me and a friend with a pig we took on his property in the hills above the Russian River , weighed about 110lbs dressed out at 75lbs , after processing we got about 47lbs of meat , real good eating . Other photos are of an informal shoot we run about four times a year mostly we break clays but occasionally we break out some more exotic stuff . In the c g c 2 photo the winner of that particular shoot is wearing the winners jacket and hat .

The bag from the weekend





Some great shooting by the guys with me and really great dog work also. The partridge and pheasant are released birds. We only seen eight woodcock in total. Should be a heck of a lot more coming in with the cold weather and full moon this week.

fish slapped

Went for a shot last nite, Pat the brother-in law did lamp man for me(it always makes things easier). Half way up the hill calling for about 10 minutes and charlie pops up out about 250 yards. Gave him one or two little squeaks and he comes in to about 200... stops and changes tack back towards where he came :eek: wind is swirling... maybe he winded me!! one last sqeak and he stopped and turned to offer me a quartering shot :rolleyes::) Bang!!

Had to curcome navagate some truely soft marsh and then couldn't find him in the long grass :mad::mad::mad:

Went back this evening and found him we walked to within 10 foot of him and missed him last night.:rolleyes:









Love his Black Boots.
