    RAIN SNOW=DEER

    Final got out to find some venison after 2 months of hayfever and flu.Tipped these 2 over just on 1st light in the drizzly rain and mist then the sun shined.Usual place,river bed edges,broom and spring grass.

    The arse colour/pattern of that stag looks a bit unusual, maybe some farm/eastern genetics?

    Great stuff Grant the new Tikka 308 I guess and 165 grain sst bullets? Good looking size as well.
    I'm trying to get to heaven before they shut the door.

    Hi NW,150gr ssts,shoot slightly flatter and have more energy.Easier to get 150gr than 165gr as well.
