I wasn't very impressed with either the idea of leaving the meat, or eating it. So I took the meat from the top side that was in the breeze and left the stuff against the ground. It did look and smell ok though. And then I got onto another stag and had to travel quite a distance to get onto the face I saw him on and shagged around up hill and down dale chasing him to no avail. Then when I was an hours walk from the face he had been on I looked back and there he was laying down in the scrub. Got closer and had an awkward shot at him and missed, but still had to check so back I went again. Carrying that damned meat all of the while. I wish I had left it on him in the end. And then that evening I got the spiker and had to carry all is meat out (but just for about an hour). I was buggered that night. To cap it off the mattress in the hut has got bed bugs in it and I couldn't sleep. Thank heavens it rained all night so we pulled the pin in the morning for home Wife looked at my back and arms and Im covered in bites. They are even on my face and hands. Bloody things. Next time I'm there I will take something to spray the mattresses with. A day later and Im still itchy.

@ANOTHERHUNTER the stag I chased and missed was across the creek. I was back at the bottom cabbage tree when I saw him again. So that was 2 trips across that damned creek and back again. Its a steep little bitch. The one I shot and left for the night was on the gate side down by the creek.
