- A fine Scottish hunt for roe deer and a huge buck taken while being swarmed by midgies, bugs and flies. Fast stalk in to catch up with a buck moving fast that ran when shot but Labrador retriever blood track finding deer quickly. Hunt scouting with a Pulsar XP50 Thermal Imager. Other vid shows 308 winchester and nosler with nosler. Chevreuil chasser Reh Hirschpirschen Jagd

Brilliant stalk, Scotland looks incredible!
Brilliant - wish we could use the .223 for roe down here. I felt for you with the midges… horrible little sods.
Tikka is a hell of a rifle
You need some Avon skin-so-soft to keep those bugs at bay. Worked for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Good shot!
Oh yes midges, not pleasant
What range was the shot ?
Cheers
About 130m in the end, he had wandered in quite close but couldn't get a shot with all the little trees and rushes in front.
I’m from America and on a whitetail deer which is a bit larger that wouldn’t be where you’d want to shoot it we try for right behind the shoulder a good bit lower than where you placed it
What’s the reason for your placement?
Through the upper lungs is where I like smaller calibre shots, makes a really clean carcass with minimum damage but can get long runs after the shot. It's just the diaphragm curls back the higher you hit so if you pull a little it's still a clean carcass. Cheers
I'm sure he didn't mean to almost clip the spine lol not everyone always gets that perfect hit they want.. I doubt he meant to put it there
Title says .223 Rem 55 grain but comment replies are saying .270.
WTF?
so long as gun go bang, deer fall over... all is good haha
I thought the legal max for deer in Scotland was 100gr 243????
No legal minimum or max in calibre but restrictions on bullet weight minimums with energy and velocity for roe and larger deer.
In Scotland for roe deer it’s 50 grains with a muzzle energy of not less than 1000 ft lbs and a muzzle velocity of not less than 2450 ft/sec.
