Another Scouting Outing

[Antarcher]

With a very heavy work schedule of late, I got a couple of hours to go for a walk and destress somewhat. I would have liked to have taken the bow but I wouldn't have had time for the recovery if I shot one. As it always plays when you don't have your bow, I got in close enough for a shot a few times. It never seems to pan out that way when you have your bow in hand, but at least I had my camera and here is few of the many pics I took today. The panasonic is working out to be one of my best purchases to date along with my new binos.

Here a few does coming out for an afternoon feed.

A few others in the same spot as last week.

Another youngen that really has to smarten up or he will be on my spit come December when he fattens up a bit. I whistled and yelled at him for a good ten minutes before I got bored and walked off. He just fed and stared a few times the whole time.

Then I saw a few deer on the run acting very strangely so I went up to a path to intercept them to see what was up. About twenty filed through here, including one decent stag of 26 inches and two smaller ones. Unfortunately I didn't get a snap of a stag as they whizzed through.

I soon found what was up with the deer as I saw this guy skulking behind them with a blue cattle dog. Both had collars but no owners were in sight.

Top pics mate, well done on getting out side with work and all. I too had a few months of overworking and its no good for the soul.

I too went for a scout on sunday with my boy Sam at a new place that I'm sure holds a stag or two but the wheels fell of my lads walking legs and we cut things short.

Always good to get out though...
