Yesterday morning I took a client out with me to cull a buck that was damaging a plantation over in West Sussex. I took him to a spot I knew that Bucks had frequented and within 30 minutes one walked down the path into our ambush, Chris shot him in the chest using a CZ527 in 7.62 x 39 and the deer finally dropped 100 yards away with a massive exit wound. The 125 grain sierra bullet expanded massively in such a light deer but he just didnt know he was dead.
What was interesting was the wierd growths on his front hooves which caused me real concern until I checked back at the office and its apparently down to Vitamin K deficiency and is called aladins slipper syndrome. Apart from that the deer was healthy albeit light weight and in the rut!
