3 generations on this mission, my dad, myself and my two boys.
Object was to try and get my boys their first deer. Didn't eventuate unfortunately, deer at awkward angles and lots of fog.
Managed 5 for the afternoon, only 1 un recovered as it decide to take a leap into a massive area of thick gorse and nettle. Kept a couple for dad and I, gave the rest to friends. Whilst my dad and youngest son went to try for some pigs I thought I would sneak back around the corner and see if the deer dad spooked was there. Sure enough one plump 3 legged hind. Pic is with much oldest, really want him to shoot it but I ended up with a stuck projectile in my 223 so had to grab the Bergara 308. Shot was very steep and didn't want him to get the old scope eye.
