    2nd shot was in the head on a yearling doe at 80m finishing a deer that a mate had spined. The guys shot other deer in the same basin.
    It started pissing rain so didn't get any photos, just a chiller pic this morning.

    Good evening hunt, a nice hind which was barren and a wee pig on the way down to get her. Sika shot at 346m, pig at 30m. Video link attached.

    When I got back to the farm I'm looking after in the Wairarapa at 1am this morning with the 2 deer it was still 23c so I broke them down to go in the fridge. Too hot to leave them hanging for the night. So that extended my bed time to 2.15am but at least the meat was chilling. The meat was good this morning. It was 27c by 9am this morning - thats when I woke up.

    There's plenty of deer on the farm I'm baby sitting but I get bored with it so drove 2 hours for some variety.

    Too hot here to leave meat very long

    I have a 12v Dometic fridge/freezer in the Ute and get the best cuts to it as fast as I can

    Then I lie in the creek for 30 mins

    Bit of a disclaimer it will make you want the rocking horse shit pills to use also very good info around wound channels from a range of bullets
    its a little hard to get into as the guy explains his background for 30 odd minutes

    They are very hard to get and expensive when you can. Ive got enough but ration them to myself and use them on nothing but deer. Maybe @Kiwi Greg might be able to source some?
