Fallow Buck Stalking in the New Forest


Follow Frederic Hanner, Sauer Product Manager, on a Fallow Buck stalk in the New Forest. The New Forest is a stunning location that spans vast fields and magnificent woodlands.

This is the ideal time of the year for fallow deer stalking, the beach nuts have dropped from the trees offering plenty of food for the deet, Frederic and Chris are sure to see a lot of wild animal activity.

I don't think I could be any happier... I couldn't be more thankful for the opportunity

Frederic and Chris head out to explore this incredible forest. On the way to the destination, Chris points out places of interest where deer have clearly made their markings. Further up the field, they take up position in a high seat that offers a 365-degree view of the surrounding area. This is one of Chris’s favourite spots.

With the New Forest also allowing public access, it is vital that Frederic uses the appropriate equipment. The Sauer Titanium Pro Super Light 2870g moderator is ideal for this type of hunting conditions. This will allow their stalking to go on without causing a disturbance to anyone else that could be in the area

As they monitor the nearby fields, Frederic spots five fallow deer in the distance. This is a promising sign that something will approach the clearing and offer a safe, clean shot.
It isn’t long until a huge fallow buck passes the treeline and enters the field. Frederic waits patiently until he has the ideal shot.

Frederic and Chris examine the buck. It has been another epic hunting adventure out in the Great British countryside.
