England Hunting Pictures

Great photos and good deer's. Wmh.(y)
 
Managed my first ever red at the very kind invite of a friend last week.

Congratulations. Nice invite to receive.

Now you have broken the ice onward and upward.
 
Very nice trophy sir!
 
Nice stag!
 
Like thriller, I'd always just took for granted it that the aristocracy and the landed gentry were the only ones that "may" hunt any at all.
 
Managed to catch up with my first Roe buck of the season a couple of days ago.
Came out of the woods just as light was fading.
He disappeared in a tucked away corner of the field I was in which enabled me to get into a good position to shoot and when he reappeared he was only about 40m away.
I waited for a broadside shot but he turned towards me and was heading in my direction quartering to my left so I took him with a high shoulder shot while his head was down.

The following morning I was out early to look for another but came across this little one in a field. I had seen a doe and a very young fawn the previous evening in the same area so I can safely guess this would be the same one.
It's the first time I've come across a tiny fawn left couched down like this. It made my day to see it.

I managed to shoot another buck last night as well but it had started to rain and haven't got any pics.
I used my Mauser M12 in 30-06 for the first time hunting in the UK.
It's only ever been used in Africa before now.
 
A few snap shots of some Roe deer and my first Roe buck of the season taken on a friends ground this weekend. He was taken using my friends 102 year old Alex Henry Mauser 98 in .275 Rigby.

Nice buck. Lovely tall head and good thick beams on the antlers.
 
Nice pics @UKHunter, this hunt is certainly on my list!
 
Nicely done sir
 
Nice buck, congrats !
 
Nice rifle! I had a chance to visit the factory for a tour last spring and they have an amazing operation and product. Also, nice stags!

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
