Sika are renowned for being tough, and with good reason, for they very often run when they are fatally hit.
Thankfully this hind only managed 20 metres and didn’t get to the Sitka spruce.

Spotted this morning while feeding the pheasant coverts, and taken later in the afternoon with quite a difficult shot made easy with the Haenel 6.5 fed with Re*****on ammo.

A very enjoyable though definitely testing goose flight this evening, I think the 10 bore would have been a better option!

Kit for the cull, it’s a far cry from what we had when I began my stalking career 30 odd years ago.
Are we more effective now than back then? There were less deer and less people managing them.
Whatever the answer I will take a modern rifle and scope any day over my old Parker Hale .243 and dodgy scope.

They all count when it comes to reducing numbers.
Spiker Sika are great for the home freezer.

Getting down to the cull, everything has a place in the plan and you have to take your chances when sika are involved.
