Here's one for you guys to laugh at can't remember whether my 1st or 2nd trip out huntin thar spotted some above the hut mate & I climbed up there bout 2 odd hours later lying on a small ridge no thar to be seen lay there for a while discussing the situation maybe they gone over the top so I organised to head up there just stood up mate says get down a bull thar stands up on a rock about 400 odd yards away bit more discussion we decided to have ago at it no way to get closer big shingle scree in between so line it up give it abit of drop bang off a shot clean miss no idea where the shot went mate does the same 6 odd nannies appear & run away from us but the bull comes charging round the scree towards us must have been the noise off the opposite rock face mate says u ready it will stop soon u nail it my heart was pounding watching this big hairy beast running towards us sure enough just over the small ridge we are on the bull stops bout 20 yards away mate says shoot it lined it up boom bull jumps about 2foot & takes off down under the ridge we are on mate says how the fuck did u miss that, long story shortened mate shoots it on the run, with a bit of head scratching how the hell did I miss that turned out I never sat high enough could see bull through the scope but projectile hit the top of the ridge we were lying on so missed out on my 1st bull so learnt a lesson that day from memory was 13 1/4 on 1 side & 12 1/2 ish on the other

Finally look at the other end of the bolt abd the bloody handle is on the wrong way round, ... Yes for some reason @TimeRiders left hand bolt doesn't fit my right handed rifle.

Good thing is I did it quietly and I don't think @MattyP noticed me do the old switcheroo and grab the RIGHT one from the bag.

I did so!! New as I was, I remember watching you look puzzled for a good couple of mins and then a giant lightbulb appear above your head and you grabbed out another plastic bag with the right bolt in it . Hahaha!

Good day hunting in the kaimanaws. plenty of sign and scrapes until daughter hit a wasps nest . Those little buggers are everywhere , a few stings latter and a rush to the road and car for treatment
