How do they use those canine teeth, do they bite or somehow slash ??

Not sure haven’t been that close to see but have heard of plenty of beaters dogs getting ripped when they bail one on driven bird days.
I’m talking bird dogs. Here’s an article.

We also shot 4 fallow does and 3 yearlings also a nice surprise to shot 2 red hinds as well so quite the success. The trip was in September. fallow buck was 231ds best fallow to date.

I'm not too sure what camera but I think it is a Panasonic HC-x2000 professional cam recorder 4k. cost him $3,595 he was quite pissed off when it broke but well what can you do sorry If I had photos I would be putting all of them up I actually counted got 320 photos but would just put the fallow buck and a few landscapes to show what the country is like. cheers sideshow.

oh what part of the UK do you live in England and what do you hunt and is it difficult to get a firearms license and permit or game license not sure of what you do to be able to hunt over there.

@Brindog Berkshire, Roe Fallow and Muntjac. At the moment it’s Roe hinds, Fallow buck & Does in season and Muntjac all yeah round. Coming up to Christmas and I’ve a few orders for Muntjac. Little fallas are quite tasty :thumbsup:

I got one off the roof last year, Dec 24th got impaled on the weather vane. Blood and venison all over the roof. Head wasn't as good as yours though, but I had a shorter carry

No irony really...most of us rooted the odd fat/ugly chick in our younger years...... some more than others.
a lot of folks will never see a decent fallow buck reguardless of if they shoot does or smaller bucks or not.
if the poster shoots hundreds of small bucks...yip thats daft,but not one or two for freezer isnt....

So what you are saying is that having sex with a girl scoring below 6 means that one has offended the gods, and will never shoot a big Fallow ??

Not really @Rees went though an inch breech branch in through the right hand side low quartering clipped both lungs and settled up under the skin
on the left side just forward of the front leg. (My left and right is me standing at the animal’s nose) branch was dead due to lose of bark;)
The round did not looked to have tumbled as most of the lead was also in and around the copper. So still happy with the how it expanded. Just need to not hit branches. Can’t be helped when in the thick stuff.

first off there is only one God....

but no,what I meant is many folks would never shoot a fallow buck AT ALL if they hadnt shot a little fella/fellow or two..... the quest for a really good large mature buck/stag with huge antlers isnt the be all and end all for many hunters..
as to what I put in first line.....most folks I know didnt wait in painful abstinence for "the one" to come along.... waited for the beauty queen to say yes and held out forever hopefully waiting for her.... sometimes a fella just takes whats on offer....

Easier to find an attractive women than a big stag, but you’ll get yourself in trouble using 10x42’s in the Main Street :thumbsup:

Very pretty country in all your photos with those deciduous tree lines / woods. Do Fallow eat the acorns and Beech nuts ? The ones you shoot always look fat

PS that scungy sling detracts from your beautiful rifle stock - Nigelloh

My Fallow head from last year drying at the Taxidermist. Will get it in a couple of weeks. DS242

Yeah they eat a few. But to many acorns can poison them.
Numbers are high. Still need to knock quite a few over. Just starting to see regrowth in the understory.
But fat they are here’s a pricket. Attachment 211302
Note how all the growth goes into there body and not antlers here.
Attachment 211303
Fairly common for this area.
As for the sling. It’s the only one that doesn’t slip of my shoulder. Which was a right pain.

C over these ways a spiker with that sort of length would have the potential to grow into something big

Fat little fallows there.tasty i bet.

Shit he is a fat bastard, fat as a seal. Here is a link to the slings: https://www.niggeloh.de/en/rifle-slings.html
I have four of the standard type slings. The 'Loden' would look good on your CF2, but never having had one I cant say if it has the same stretch and anti bounce shock absorbing that makes the standard one so good. I put the forward end of the sling on the barrel 'Safari Style' which lowers the centre of gravity, brings the gun closer and makes a heavy rifle like a CF2 light
