    First deer in over 12 months

    I shot my last deer in Dec 2020, then decided to try and get one with the bow in 2021. I got close to a deer, missed one, got the bow drawn back on another. So with the freezer being empty I decided to use the rifle again. One overnight trip, one deer seen, one shot. Using the rifle is sooo easy.

    The hound is Lily. She is coming up 3 years old. She has got me close to a couple of deer with the bow, but couldn’t seal the deal. She hasn’t had to do much tracking yet as most of the deer kills she has been on the deer has dropped on the spot.

    @stug Good one bloke, whats the details on the rifle & what was the bow set up ? ,l am thinking about getting back into it this year.

    Good hunting.
    The difficulty of hunting with a rifle is created by the hunter himself. For example, I try to get as close to the prey as possible, at the risk of it escaping me, but I never shoot more than 50 meters.
    I hope this is not misinterpreted.
    Wonderful rifle, the one that owns, the single shots are great. What brand and what gauge is it?
