    Tricky one which I always have difficulty coming to terms with as at this time of year it doesn't leave much to point the gun at except for yearlings. Think i've shot one which was in the early stages of pregnancy, but I have to say the venison was fantastic. I've shot a Sika hind last march with a fawn near by which I assumed belonged to her and not the other hind squeaking up the hill? This made me feel real guilty. Going by your guys accounts it should have survived on its own I hope.

    Then last week I was 12m away (paced it) from a very nice Fallow Buck, but no timber on its head so it lived for another day. End result is I have had no venison for 3 months
