Hello from Germany!
Today morning, 5:15 a.m. I was outside for roedeer hunting. Had my .45 GPR rifle with me, loaded with 90 grs WANO PP, .440er RB, .010" lubed patch.
When moving to the treestand I saw already a doe and a fawn. But they have no season. I observed them and waited until they went back into the forest. Then I climbed up the stand. After another 15 minutes I saw a doe (yearling and with season!) at my right side at about 220 yds. It was moving to the forest line. While it was to far from the tree stand for a safe shot I went down and stalked to the roe. But during I was stalking the roe changed its direction right towards me, recognized me and escaped. So I went back to the tree stand. Another 20 min later again a roe came out of the forest line about 150 yds away. Had a look with my binocular and saw it was a buck (4 points min) :shocked2: . It walked directly towards my stand. So I took the GPR, aimed and planed to wait a bit more until he gets closer (80 yds). Suddenly he stopped, raised his head and looked to a farm, about 500yds away in my back. There was loud noise and shouting. Farmer was driving out the cows at the meadow. :cursing: The buck didn't like the noise, turned round and rushed into the forest before I could even shoot. Damned! 4 roes seen, and no harvest possible!
That is hunting!
