Hi Gents
The EU boards have been slow recently so I thought we could have a random pictures thread for those who want to stick up a field sports picture without having to open a new discussion and type 2 pages of carefully worded prose.

Cheers
Gabriel

I'll kick things off with some deer pics:

I like that last one, snapped incognito one might say

Are you going to hold a leg or not f&*&er?

Is what I'm saying to the guy who shot the sika and let me gralloch it.

Is that Richmond Park?

The Sika look like they were in Knole Park, but I could be wrong!

DAVE!!!! ITS BEHIND YOU!!!!

FB

Fantastic pics!
The sika are in SE Ireland on a private estate.
The live fallow are in the grounds of Hampton Court Palace, just outside London.
The dead fallow/sika are from Wiltshire.

DJM - What breed is the fuzzy dog?
Also - what make is that rifle?

I've mainly been at the foxes over the past month.

Shot these two in the same field about ten days ago, 20 minutes apart. Sorry for the poor quality photo, taken with the phone:



This one was a real problem. He had killed about 60 pheasant poults, I sat out for him for 5 nights. He was completely educated to lamps and calls and would disappear as soon as a lammp was turned on. Finally got him yesterday morning. Number 2 son had to get into the frame:



He was a brute. Fat as an old labrador.

Boar I shot in January in Germany:

The Fuzzy dog is a GWP

And the Rifle is a Restocked Sako 75

Muntjac

Wow

DJM- thats not a muntjac, it has to be a hybrid of sorts, perhaps he had a roe for a father?

Brian- good job on them foxes, but I most say they grow bigger in sweden, still season opens for real next weekend, I sure do hope I can bag a badger to amuse you all.

Best regards Chris

Tikka, that last picture is really nice.
Where was it taken and what equipment do you use?
Cheers

Gabriel

Some recent (May on) reds:

Yearling hind



Yearling...



...yes it is a spike:





And a healthy litter of Bavarians:

NEVER lend a Friend a Chronograph!




The New GWP Puppy 'Storm'

Great pictures which put mine to shame.

I'm glad I put up this thread.

Good times.

A mornings work in Gloucestershire with an Italian friend of Griff's Feb 2009.

Nice one, looks like a weatherby and a howa were used, what's the 3rd rifle?

Boggy,
Weatherby 25-06, model 70 264 winnie
Sako 75 308.
Marcello from Rome had a few days with us and we rolled out the red carpet.
He shot more deer in one day than he does normally in a year..
Along with the fallow, he shot several roe, we tried for a munty but it was not to be, I think he will be back..

regards
griff

Tikka, Your first frame is a cracking picture!

Thanks for the plaudits, the last one of the Roe Buck was taken with a Fuji Finepix about 5 years ago, I didn't take the pic as I was the one with the rifle that day so his head is on my "boys Room" wall; the other two are my pics with a Nikon D200. Dare I admit that woodland stalking with a camera is more difficult than with a rifle?

I never do the two things at the same time, as there are too many moving parts, it is either Rifle OR Camera

All shots taken in West Sussex .

Tikka260's Roe photo's are fantastic.

Dave's Red stag junping the fence is a stunner also.

So much better than my dead stuff.

Nice pics guys, thanks for sharing them all! Waidmannsheil, Dom.

Great photo's chaps!

Keep 'em coming!

My first chamois, the nicest I've ever killed; south-east France, 09/2002.

I love the European hunting photos, gents. Keep them coming!

She came bimbling along, looking wary, heard the shutter noise and looked up at the source in the Ladder Seat





and these two were following...




Another day, different spot..

Fallow Doe



All taken with the D200 in West Sussex.

ATB

So many beautifull pictures...

Mine are not exactly "field sport", but rather nature, hope you enjoy nevertheless.

My sailboat "Dreamcatcher" at anchor at my girlfriends island (yes, she owns the island )


A blackbird nest (Turdus merula)


Some "stone age sheep" grazing by the cottage.
This is the same kind of sheep as the Vikings had, around twelve houndred years ago.
They stay out on the island year around and keep it nice and tidy.


Not exactely Mallorca, but so much peace and quiet


A mink shot just ouside the cottage on the island.

Arild,

That looks like a great place. Apart form the beautiful scenery, you also have ready made BBQ wandering about!!

FB

Looks lovely.
Are you collecting the skins to make your girlfriend a Mink Coat?

Nice yacht. I told my wife that if I had a yacht, I wouldn't have time for a mistress!

Kiri
She gets a yearling lamb each year from the sheep farmer for the grazing rights on the island .
Yumm yumm ---good eating

Dave
No mink coat from me, at least not by shooting those buggers (by the way, they stink like hell).
Mink are vermin and left for the eagles to feast on.

It´s an old yacht, but in good shape and seaworthy.
A bit marked and worn by the years, like her skipper

A few of my pic's sorry if you have seen them before

My two Weimaraners

While waiting for the roe buck season to open August 10, I did some more "spot and stalk" on minks.

First a single one late in the evening, then two more the next day.

Yikes, the place is over-run with the little bastards. I'm assuming these are the European subspecies...and not the feral American ones.
Are they this common all over Norway?
