Thread: back into it.

So its the start of the year and everyone is starting to get “back into it” well especially for myself.
I have been “out of it” for the last 7 month due to overseas commitments. Whilst overseas all I could think about in my down time was getting “into it”, to supplement my lack of hunting I was watching a lot of YouTube hunting to get my fix. Im sure u almost clocked the NZ hunting YouTube scene. This was also feeding my online shopping problem, so safe to say when I arrived home mid Dec I had a fairly large pile of packages from various forum members, trade me and rivers to ranges. Once I had inspected all my packages I was quick to set up my new rife with the help of @shift14 installing my new scope and @Rushy for giving me a hand to zero my new setup.

It was new year well precisely the 2nd of Jan, I had a chance to get out for an afternoon hunt.
I decided on one of my old spots in the Ruahines that had proven quite productive in the afternoon. And that it did, I set up on and opposite slip with the wind heading up stream( perfect for this spot) I then only had to wait for half an hour and a young hind took a step out and at 230yds with the 7mm rem mag it didn’t stand much of a chance, I was stoked deer down and still 2 hours left of lite to walk out in. Freezer resupplied and the itch I had for 7 month scratched.

Cheers to the lads who gave me a hand getting this rifle set up and the guys on the forum I had brought kit off.

Since then 2 more deer (sika) have been taken with the rifle and I am very impressed.

Awesomeness. Happy to help…..and pleasure to meet you

Obviously you haven't lost your touch while absent. Good stuff, well done.

What are the odds that two old neighbours had some skin in this game without even knowing? There was never a chance that the outcome would be anything but great. Oh and well done young fellah.

Nice work, still got what it takes.
