Youngest son took a red hind and three fallow for freezer meat last week using my X-Bolt 7mm WSM. The red was a ranged at 380m up on open foothill country, DRT to a shoulder/neck junction shot and fallow all dropped with 180-200m neck shots.
The WSM zeroed at 250m with Leupold VX3i, suppressed and using bipod.
The X-Bolt will be off on a weeks alpine Tahr hunt in a couple of weeks time weather permitting.

Got a big freezer hey?

I have to kick the old Engle into gear when I get something.

Good stuff. All animals look to be in decent nick too.
Planning something similar for a couple of weeks time. Hoping this better weather currently holds on for both my hunting and yours.

I only took the biggest fallow and son's mates got the rest, they got a home kill butcher to make it all into kebabs, flavoured sausages, patties, and mince other than the prime back strap and medallion cuts which they kept as is.

I wasn't quite so adventurous and boned out rump cuts for roasting, front shoulders for same, back strap steaks and medallions, then all the rest as stew meat. Chucked some stew meat in vegetable soup in the slow cooker, hmm beautiful.

Nice one! Just arrived at new farm tonight for first time that I dont have to take off up north again straight away. Ill head out in morning and see if I can put some meat in the freezer as cant live on vegetables for too long.

Course you can - just order the vegetarian meal off the menu with a side of bacon

After two weeks of travelling and eating bought food, Im over it. Just want a good home cooked steak and potatoes etc.
