England Hunting Pictures

Great photos and good deer's. Wmh.(y)
 
Managed my first ever red at the very kind invite of a friend last week.

Congratulations. Nice invite to receive.

Now you have broken the ice onward and upward.
 
Very nice trophy sir!
 
Nice stag!
 
Like thriller, I'd always just took for granted it that the aristocracy and the landed gentry were the only ones that "may" hunt any at all.
 
Managed to catch up with my first Roe buck of the season a couple of days ago.
Came out of the woods just as light was fading.
He disappeared in a tucked away corner of the field I was in which enabled me to get into a good position to shoot and when he reappeared he was only about 40m away.
I waited for a broadside shot but he turned towards me and was heading in my direction quartering to my left so I took him with a high shoulder shot while his head was down.

The following morning I was out early to look for another but came across this little one in a field. I had seen a doe and a very young fawn the previous evening in the same area so I can safely guess this would be the same one.
It's the first time I've come across a tiny fawn left couched down like this. It made my day to see it.

I managed to shoot another buck last night as well but it had started to rain and haven't got any pics.
I used my Mauser M12 in 30-06 for the first time hunting in the UK.
It's only ever been used in Africa before now.
 
A few snap shots of some Roe deer and my first Roe buck of the season taken on a friends ground this weekend. He was taken using my friends 102 year old Alex Henry Mauser 98 in .275 Rigby.

Nice buck. Lovely tall head and good thick beams on the antlers.
 
Nice pics @UKHunter, this hunt is certainly on my list!
 
Nicely done sir
 
Nice buck, congrats !
 
Nice rifle! I had a chance to visit the factory for a tour last spring and they have an amazing operation and product. Also, nice stags!

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
