Quite a good Chinese Water Deer taken in North Norfolk, UK this evening.

Cool looking animal.

Neat looking deer. Maybe should call it a vampire deer

 

[PablitoPescador]

I bet they make a pretty cool euro mount!

Never heard of them. Pretty cool looking. Do bucks and does have fangs?

Yes but the bucks tusks are much bigger. Neither sex have antlers.

I am curious what rifle and scope you got, I don’t recognize either?

It's a Sauer 404 in .308 Win with a Blaser scope. It is one of the packages supplied to my employer as a training rifle by the Blaser Group. I've only had it a few weeks and I'm very impressed with it.

I bet they look weird when those teeth are in velvet.

Here is a Reeves Muntjac that I shot with the same rifle a couple of weeks ago. We have six species of deer in the wild in the UK.

Thanks for sharing what it is. I like the way the rifle looks. Also congratulations on the deer.

Wow sweet shot

I seem to remember reading that Elk used to have similar denture equipment long ago. Their fangs eventually receded over time, leaving them with what is now their ivories.

Man you would need several of them to make a meal....

Awesome! I will be over your way (covid willing) this fall. No CWD on the estates I'll be hunting, but I would like to find some. I'll also be doing my DSC1, so any tips on that let me know!

I didn’t realize you could even hunt or own a gun in the UK.

Have you had issues with the magazine not feeding rounds? These rifles look like a good choice but I watched a video online where the reviewer was consistently having feeding issues.

Cheers!

A 308, they tuff some beeches ? Wouldn’t a 22 or 22 mag be better.

Nice shooting! How does the blaser scope compare to the other euro brands? Not very easy to get your hands on one here in the states just to even look through. Think it is kind of odd to see a blaser scope not on a blaser. Curious as to why they chose that scope over say zeiss, myopia or any other brand.
