Thread: 2020 SHOT STAGS

NOT BAD FOR A 9YEARS OLD.
It took us a while to get in close to him, Had to stalk through a paddock with sheep and then just getting up to where we wanted to be a hind barked at us. binos up and there he was 50m away and time my young fella lined him up he had gone around the ridge. A quick run around the face and he was back in view running. A quick roar and he stopped, boom miss, quick reload and second shot was a hit. Older animal and i recon going backwards. So a good one to shoot.

Excellent. Did you make him carry it out?

Why did you make him wait till he is nine ? Looks like he would have been ready at seven
