Scotland : A Thrilling Encounter With Big Boy
Morning is dawning the sun plays on the self seeded field of xxx pine. `I’m in the highest sheltered from the wind with my back to one block, a ride to my left and the fence line falling away infant of me.
Ive seen the little Roebuck break cover and cross the ride a while back, but now only the wind in the trees, the creaking of the dead lower branches, and a terrible racket coming from behind me. The way the seat is it’s not easy to turn around that far.
Ahab is a notorious, and compulsive practical joker so my first thought is this is yet another of his practical jokes. The thrashing and cracking continues. Twisting my head there’s defiantly something there.
There’s only one stop where Ahab could possibly get out of the close-planted block, I’m not going to point even a de-cocked rifle at the spot. I’m just preparing a witty retort for when he steps out when a Red deer with a neck larger than my waist tears his antlers free of the branches and steps into the gully where the ride borders the trees. As I shoulder the rifle he hears something of my movement and spins 180 disappearing into the forest block. Never to been seen again. Easily one of the two biggest Reds Ive ever seen in Scotland
Every dawn, and every dusk, for two or three hours a time for the next five days I sit there. Not a sausage.
Every day I stalk up the ride to glass the fence line, every day I find hooj deer turds, steaming a couple of times, big foot prints, but I never see him again.
Should I have pointed my de-cocked rifle at the gap? No. Should I have sat still and waited? Of course.
Hunting, not shopping.
