    I have never roared in that many hunters before. I wouldn't want to be a deer in that place.

    First deer I've shot, roared a few times from a good spot on a nob at the head of a valley. Had my shooting lanes all sorted and this fulla strolled in to see who was snagging his pozzy. Whacked him at about 25m, he went about 30m before going down. Freezer is a bit fuller, but now I've really got the bug!

    Still no roaring in my usual spot in Pureora, just a moan or two and that was it.
    Managed to get a spiker near a wallow, with my old husquy open sight in 9.3x57. A first kill with this gun.
    Took me 3 hrs to get the carcass out.

    Well done Friwi. Was the three hour haul out about distance, difficulty, fitness or as in my case, the passing of years causing knees to not function as smoothly as they once did under weight?
    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

    It takes me 1h and 1/4 to walk to my hunting spot, so with a 50 or 60 kg carcass I am slowed down a bit.the knees are still holding, touch wood. I got back into a bit fitness after Christmas , lost 6 kg ( and could do with another 6 to 10 less) and the heart is pumping a bit better. I also had a good mate with me to swap over the load along the way, I must admit that helps :-)

    Just got back from a wander down south.
    Heard 6 stags, 2 going really well on their own.

    A lot of animals moving around.
