Being a bit naughty doesn't make a good person like MD a bad person, but rules are rules. Im sure he gets that.

Is it a temporary ban or permanent do you know?

Post #73 would indicate it is temporary

I agree Tahr, Micky isn't a bad person.
But being a self confessed god botherer he doesn't show a whole lot of compassion toward some people at times. And some of his comments are quite offensive.
I would expect better standards.
And the topic of banning is very inconsistent.

Late to the party reading this thread , seems to have gone pear shape rather quickly and MD got the boot , hopefully he just got the strap and a couple days detention and he’ll be back

On dawn, red hind at 40 metre. Neck shot, down instantly. Later, two fallow at 75 metres, first one in the Neck, second one, through the head (face on), both dropped instantly. Then the hard Mahi started!

Can the next survey be how far from the vehicle was your last deer?

Ooh I can kick that off

Driving home from work through a forestryblock with a empty trailer behind the truck.
Red hind and yearling run across the vehicle track and up the bank into trees above the track.
My K95 was in pieces in the back seat.
Put the rifle together, scope on and suppressor and she's still standing in the shadows 50m away.
Shot the hind in the neck.
She rolled down and the fence stopped her.
Jack knifed the trailer against the bank
Slid the deer under the fence because the bottom staples were gone
Rolled her on the trailer whole and un gutted.

Whole thing took 2 minutes

I expect that that distance has decreased quite a bit over the last few years with ballooning numbers, thermals and what-not. But really, who cares. It's a measure of nothing.

Those bottom wire staples, eh. Back in the day cyclone fencing pliers used be part of every meat hunters' kit.

I shot a Sika spiker from the truck once. Seen it. Get gun from back seat, load gun, wind down window and bang.
My only driveby.

My last one, shot at 60m, was 80m from the truck when I shot it. I had been on a decent walk around a property and got back to 20m from my wagon and there were 2 stags feeding on the bush edge. I don't often get that lucky.
