<maral>This years first roebuck!
Finally, one week after roe-season started, i managed toget myself a nice roebuck last night.My roe-gun, a Brno in 260Rem, is still waiting for its new scope (kahles 3-9X42), so I had to use my Ruger No 1, in 8X68S instead. Maybe I was a little overgunned, but it is a very special feeling, stalking roe with a single shot rifle;-))I shot the 6-point buck at about 140m,and the bullet(220g Swift A-frame/2900fps) hit behind the left shoulder, and went out slightly in front of the left, damaging less than a pound of the best meat one can get.Roe -season started out just fine, afterall! 8-))

<JOHAN>Gentlemen
Congratulations to the roe bucks. The Swedish opening started 16th of August.
I have bagged two nice roebucks during the opening day. One very nice six pointer and a small that were in the way for the rest of the population
Soo sorry that I didn't have a digital camera.
Cheers/
