Hi all,
I also like stalking roe does in the winter....definately a advantage having no mozzies,or tics,however in the highlands it can be difficult to be quiet enough if the ground is frosty or there is a covering of snow....the "crump crump" of boot on snow really spoooks them.

hope you are all having a good season

I really don't understand those people who are focused on bucks only..like you I enjoy my doe stalking just as much. The bonus for me is that I don't have to cope with the Scottish midge in winter and that is worth a lot on its own!

I love being out on a cold frosty morning when there is some snow on the ground. Usually not the most productive stalking, but I enjoy being out anyway. A couple of years ago I remember following a big dog fox up a ride just after first light as he padded through the snow down at Thetford...he must have been about 100yards ahead of me. Although I enjoy lamping foxes, I had no thoughts of shooting him as he almost felt like a fellow hunter out on his early morning rounds...

Regards,

Pete

I like my winter stalking bit more than summer the same as pete,no midges i have a bad reaction to mozzie bites,
