    Big Jap

    On the wk end i was doing some classic unpaid guiding for a keen young fella who wanted to shoot his first jap stag.
    No pressure, just an 8pta he reckoned ! yea right.
    Well you wouldnt read about it, 10 min from camp and we were watching 5 hinds and 5 min later this stag joined them.
    I think he was ready to start sending 140gr Accu-Bonds from the 708 over its way when i said he was to use the 338FX,
    Ranged at 625yds, i did the calcs and started filming. KA BOOOOOM, man its noisy when your not behind the shooter and flop. He was one happy chappy.
    Even as we stumbled into camp at midnight after packing it out he still had a grin from ear -ear

    Im not sure why i looked grumpy in the pix coz i swear i was rapt for him. Maybe i was thinking about how much it weighed

    Bloody good on ya.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Nice Kelly. That"s a big Jap alright. Trouble is the antlers always look smaller on a big body. Well done.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
