I opted to shoot my own land in Broubster in the pouring rain and successfully stalked and shot a roe buck at The Fairy Glenn. Ranger Chris skinned it for me and the Thurso butcher cut it up.

I opted to shoot my own land in Broubster in the pouring rain and successfully stalked and shot a roe buck at The Fairy Glenn, gutted it and carried it home with great pride to hang in the fish room of the Forss House Hotel! I agonised over whether to skin and butcher the animal myself but felt that I should report the kill to Ranger Chris. As it was shot by me in my own estate and carted home by me as well, he reckoned that it was my deer! He offered to skin it for me and so I drove the immense distance along unmade roads to find him and his house to get the job done. He also showed me how to butcher it, but I opted to get the Thurso butcher to do that job as per Charlie's recommendation. There was a horrific evening of wind and rain and so I opted for an early night.
