Got me thinking back. I cracked the shits with work one afternoon years ago. It was about this time of the year-early spring. I shot home and grabbed my pack and rifle and headed for the ruahine tops.
Long story short I was wandering down a creek in the evening and a few lightbulbs started to go off in my head from what I had read and been told. Lovely warm evening about 7pm. Wind in my face. Slowly making my way down these mint looking river flats I spied brown. DEER !! 5 shots later from the ole Sako I had two deer on the deck(they were on the hoof) .

Now I wish I had someone experienced with me as I wasted a lot of meat that night. Still two reds of heavily hunted DOC land. I was hooked.

Bloody nice looking Sako there Nathan
