There is a block of wood at Dibden that we take the dogs to for their exercise that seems to be stuffed with Roe. The picture here is of a doe that was only 60 yards away and was not put off by us at all, including the dogs. The area is very popular with walkers so hence the lack of nerves re the Roe. The previous evening we came across 3 doe's and 2 bucks both of which had a decent set of jewels.(No camera that time). If only the Forestry Commission would allow stalking in the New Forest........
The last lamping session was frustrating again. Took a shot at an adult fox for only to miss again. Doubt soon took over whether the rifle was zero'd in. Stephen set up a target approx 50 yards away with the shot 1.25" above the bull which answered my worry about the zero. Must of got fox fever and pulled the shot...plonker!!
