And constant washing of hands and wiping of the ute's door handles. I also disinfected my quad with sterile wipes.

    The odd person living on a farm might go deer hunting now, but to me its breaking the spirit of what we are trying to achieve. You do vital industry work, or you stay at home.
    was just reading about one of the cruse ships having covid in the cabins 17 days latter , got me thinking giving the steering wheel , gear stick a wipe now and again mite not be a silly idea.

    Here's a 12 I got pre lock down. All butchered up at home now and trying to figure out how to clean the skull as I don't have a steel pot and didn't realise id come out to a complete lock down. Was holding 7 hinds but not making any noise. Way up high so waro obviously didn't hit them too bad this year. Now 4 weeks at home hoping no one spreads this thing further and the lock down ends.

    If you don't have a pot or a 44 gallon drum you can cut down, just clean it up as best you can with a knife then bury it in the garden leaving the antlers exposed and nature will do the rest.
    I have mine cleaned up but no way to bleach it, have made my shield to mount it on too but no way to buy long jib screws with anchors to mount the skull to the shield either so kind a stalled on my mount, gonna have a fosic through the shed see if I can find what I need

    Talk to your neighbours, at distance or over the phone. Get them to drop the pot at the gate. You can then pick it up with gloves or leave it in a safe place for 24 hours should be safe to handle then.
    Otherwise as said bury it in the garden and watch out for the dogs

    Early Feb shot this 11 pointer stag up past the mountain in the photo. He had 8 hinds with him. Was a 14 hr mission from leaving camp early and back again with a very heavy pack!

    Sorry to disappoint you Tahr, but this might be smaller, poor little fellas nuts hadn't even dropped.
    I was away hunting when all this lockdown stuff developed, and got home Thursday evening with this guy and a couple of hinds. Never saw a stag apart from this one but heard a few half hearted croaks. He was an accident but a tasty one.
    That's a 270 for scale but he got a 7.62x39

    He looks like he's suffered Kea strike, good of you to put him out of his misery. I didn't think Kea ranged that far north, must be the effect of global warming.☺
