Roe Buck and a successful outing

[Brithunter]

Well I finally got the photos from my camera downloaed so here they are:-



A fairly typical 6 Pointer



A normal mature Roe Buck has 6 points. Now to be in the medal class the antlers have to be longer and thicker than this one is. Some develop abnormal heads in that the antlers have more points or some tines are exceptionally long. Those sorts are out of my budget.

The Buck I fell kinda sorry for as when eating a nice piece of Backstrap the other evening I found soemthing hard so took it out and teased open the piece I was chewing only to find a .22" Pellet from an air rifle. Some rotten little toe-rag had shot it in the back with a darned Air Gun .
