Red Deer Hunt in Scotland

[Knockespoch]

Remington Girl suggested I post some of my Red Deer hunts in Scotland, so here is one of them.

Some time ago, my colleague Iain and I, took our German and Dutch friends, Andreas and Marcel out for a stag, as a thank you for the wild boar hunting in Germany that they kindly provide for us.

We knew they really wanted a red stag (there's precious few in Holland) so we asked a friend to take them out on his land to the North of Arrochar. We do have red on our own ground but not so many that one could be guaranteed. After they had got their stag, we went on to our lease in Aberdeenshire where Marcel got a nice little six point roe.

Here are some pictures.

First evening out Andreas got a wee stag.



Next morning both drew a blank but the evening stalk brought success for both.

On the way up.

During our stay at the Village Inn, Arrochar, Guinness sales went through the roof. I'm just glad I didn't have to climb the hill with them.

The rifle used was a 7mm-08 Mannlicher Pro Stainless with a Swarovski 4-16 x 50.

The bases on the Roe buck look like he was probably a mature buck. Is that size a normal or do they get bigger? I thought the Red Stag deer ran close to 350 pounds, but they look similar to the size of a whitetail. Nice pictures....
