Rusa Scout

[STEALTH]

I went for scout today to see what the rusa where up to and to see if i could knock over a yearling for the freezer.After a short time i spotted a few deer bedded down infront of me about 100m and after 20 minutes of leopard crawling through the mud I closed the gap to a slightly elavated 30m.There I got a good look at them and saw them to be a bachelor mob with 2 spikers and 2 bigger ones ,the bigger of the 2 already had good brow tines and I'm tipping him to go over 30.
I sat there for about 30 minutes till a rifle shot in the next valley echoed out and they where on there way.
Heres a couple of pics, there not the best because I had my other camera but you can still see a bit..

Been having a bit of a scout of late myself too Frank. I've now seen, and got a few on video, about 5 stags that will be crackers. Can't wait for them to start rubbing. It's Fallow and Red time but it's good to know where they are hanging as early as possible so you can pattern them.
Must get meat next time.
