Oh fuck that

3 at Snee Rd,4 Coppermine,6 Kumeti,4 and another going up Tamaki this arvo so just did a wheelie at @BRADS woolshed and went to the park teased the ducks and deer.

Thursday 's effort:

Nice guess you where happy when you put that load down

Good stuff Friwi.

Went for a walk last week in a spot that I had scouted and sussed out a stag was present. Got there late in the day and let out a couple of feeble sounding moans to which there was no reply.
I then worked my way slowly along the ridge with the occasional roar and lots of watching as an animal had sprung me before and I figured he knew his ground. Still no answers to my dying cow roars so I made my way to where I had found his scrape, 70y away I spotted him standing in his bed looking in my direction.
As I loaded a round I let out a quiet moan to hide the noise of me working the action, naturally between him and me a labyrinth of twigs and branches somewhat blocked the bullets intended path, I stood there motionless, luckily so did the dog (good boy).
I tried another low moan to which finally he was annoyed enough to roar out his challenge, as he laid back his head I took this opportunity to secure a clear path through the branches and took aim at his vitals.
Even at 70y my 7mm08 latte sipping rifle did the job and he was poleaxed without flinching.



He has a couple of snags which like Roy I will claim, don't know if you can hang a ring from one of them but I know mine was hanging out when I carried him out of the bush

Cheers.

Wow nice animal good recon too!
Also thanks a lot for the nice write up. It's always easier to shoot them. Enjoy.

nice

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

3 days out in a block and only roaring one evening over the fence , was pretty warm at 21-23c each day..... might have had something to do with it?
On the drive home yesterday the deer farm just south of 'kune was full of stags (hummels? no antlers), stopped for a watch and listen. They were going nuts, a non-stop barrage of roars, was pretty cool to prctice the technique on and get them all pissed off

Did manage this one the other week.


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!
