Thread: Just been hunting in Santoft

Hi everyone, I've just come back from walking over Santoft looking for sambar. I've done a heap of miles and am quite sore, (not used to it). I was given block 2 to hunt on, which is nearer to the north end. I walked tracks/roads, thick forest, streams, and bordering farmland. I started at about 6:00am and had a plan and stuck to it. I'm quite dissapointed because apart from the motorbikes, buggies, and people with dogs around the place...I didnt see one deer. Not even signs of deer. No fresh prints or shit, no damage to trees. So im just wondering if anyone else has been into santoft and how you went. Where were you and what did you see or shoot?
I know these sambar are sneaky but not even a sign makes me think theyre not there?
Oh, forgot, I did see one small tree that was a little stripped at the very northern point of my block 2. It looked quite old though.
Any advice or info would be a great help.
