I wonder how many of us have been out on one of our favourite permissions, stalking squirrels in a wood for example, only to wonder what it would be like to take on a totally different type of shooting?
I'm lucky, because I have a lot of friends who know how passionate I am about field sports in general and shooting in particular, and consequently I've had plenty of invitations to go deer stalking.
THE TIME HAS COME
The thought of actually getting out there and doing this had been rolling around inside my head for quite some time. Any hesitancy I'd previously displayed had nothing to do with the shooting of highpowered rifles, but rather the thought of taking on a totally different and majestic animal compared with the quarry that I normally shoot when I'm out in the woods with my airgun.
But the time had finally come.
