    Headed out to Totara Flats yesterday, got as far as the cone hut track by the second bridge where we were going to head up and sidle along towards the flats and found out the mountain race was going through, also found out S&R in conjunction with the police dog handlers had exercises in the valley all weekend so decided to turn back. Glad we did cause on the way back we bumped into a few people heading out that way.... like about 100 members of the Vic Uni Tramping Club (not joking about the number either) going out to camp on the flats for the weekend.
    Probably would have seen less people if I'd gone hunting at Coastlands mall.

    S&R had apparently dropped 9 groups of people off around the valley for their teams to find, rather than risk an accident or interfering in their training we decided to leave them to it.

    Went and checked out a terrace that always holds stags in the roar. Soon as i got there saw fresh stag shit so thatwas good. Saw a yearling then on a second look thought nah, its a log. Got to within 30 feet, was looking right and not left where the so called log was. Happened to look and the log turned into a deer staring at me lol. Hence, didnt get that one. Found a wallow that been used and spooked another yearling late in the day. good amount of sign around so good day out. Also saw another yearling on side of main highway at 630am on trip to the spot so the deer were tensing me all day Tried a few roars here and there, too early yet but was worth a shot as couple of stags in the area

    Nice stuff!!
    Was in the rough area yesterday too. A bit of sign about, and some good scrapes (no wallows yet) and a few moans up the valley, but the wind was all over the place and seemed to up my arse no matter which way I went (my excuse anyway).
    Was a good walk, but the deer always seem to be where I'm not.... have to seriouly figure out whats not going right before I loose my marbles.

    VERY dry (noisy!) in the bush, alot of the understory plants were very wilted and dry, usual streams were pretty much stagnat trickles. But I guess that will draw the critters down?

    Yep hard going when it's that dry. I found that if I was sweating I was going to fast! Had more results the slower I went.. But that's only if the sign was good? Sometimes we all just have that bum streak

    You're getting good with photoshop. I can't even make out the ear tag on that one.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
