Yesterday we finnished our red deer hunt. We got the last deer, a calf. Haven't got any roe, but who cares when you can shot 3 red deer in 10 min. Not bad for the first time ever to shot deer. We shot 4 deer. 2 females, 1 male, and one calf.


Me and one of the female deer.

A calf, neck shot, not my shot.


Nice days catch.


First grouse of the season


Autum sure is nice.

How did you take the deer? Was it a driven shoot or a spot and stalk?

Thanks for posting the photos.

It is a spot and stalk hunt. We wait until we can see the deer coming into the field we are hunting. They can be seen from a road. Then we deside on how to get into position.

There was 18 deer on the field this morning. And I got 3 deer before they all ran of the field. Two days later an oyther guy on my hunting team got the last calf.


This is the favorite lookout point. The deer where all taken on the field loonges away from us on the picture.

An other field that is a bit harder to stalk.

Nice looking country. Thank you for the photos.
Do you have any photos of adult stags.
I'm interested to see what the antlers look like.

Hi

I have some antlers that I found hiking, but I don't have time to take a picture and post it.

I'm leaving for hungary in a few hours. Sorry.

Nice pictures and beautiful landscape.Just curious and certainly no offence meant, why were the calves shot?No age restrictions?

Hi, No offence taken at all!

Last year we had 4 free animals on the kvota. It was recomnded that one of the animals should be a calf.

Usually the kvota spesifies the age and sex of the animals quite spesifikly.
A typical kvota for us would be one 1 1/2 year old male, one 1 doe, one calf and on free animal.

We prefer to shoot calfs and young stags or does (1 1/2 year olds) because they are the best meat. I eat what I shoot so shoting a big buck in the rut seems like a waste of meat and a good breding animal. Better to shoot calfs.

Thanks much,Johan, for the edification.That is an interesting quota system. I totally empathise with your hunting ethic. I,too, never shoot what I don't eat,unless it demands.Thanks again.
