I went for a driven hunt south of Stockholm yesterday. A pretty dull an grey morning started the day, but the list of allowed game (wild boar, fallow dear, red deer, bull moose, fox) made it easy to get out of bed.
First stand was tight and fast shots was expected. I saw about 10 fallow deer on this stand, but they were all to fast. The fun part was that my best friend shot his two first fallow deer on an other stand.
5 deer was shot by 11 hunters on this part of the hunt.
After a short gathering a new stand was taken. I remembered that a lot of game passed this stand the last time I was here hunting, so the expectations were high.
I didn’t have to wait long before a group of fallow dear showed themselves on the field in front of me. The rest was firm an I was calm. The 150 grain Accubond from my 30-06 dropped the calf in its tracks at aprox. 120m.
I quickly filled the magazine with a new round and lokked up. Now a big boar was aproaching me in front. It was about 200m away, but I really could see that it was a male boar. I didn’t want to take a front shot, so I had to wait until it passed me at 10m. One shot above the front legs and it dropped.
Full of adrenaline I filled up the gun with fresh ammo.
It took about 10 minutes until a new group of fallow deer took their way out in the field to my right. A little ”grount” from me made them stop, and I dropped a ”spike”. What a stand!
The last part of the was fast because of the lack of daylight in the Swedish winter. But this was my lucky day and I shot a fallow calf.
A quick report from the best hunt of my life so far.
A big excuse if my English isn’t understandable
