Thread: Merry XMAS!

Merry Christmas everyone!
I call a farmer and ask if I could shoot some goats in his property and the answer was, yes but it is the last time till late next year.
Fair enough, I completely understand it.
Start walk and spot a mob of 6 goats heading up hill and that kind changed all my plans, but let's keep moving.
Had a look around and to my surprise I spot just the head of a very young fallow buck, by the time I aim at it he was fast on his way thru the scrub, so again change plans.
I keep walking and drop into the creek but nothing there, I could smell deer but no where to be seen. So I went back to my track and up hill I go. Not long after I get in the first ridge I start to glass around the only thing I could see was sheep and more sheep, then again there is the young buck looking at me, I only could see from his neck up, I put the crosshairs in and shoot, clear miss, second shot and down he went, I run to check it and what a shot, for such a "small" animal a neck shot is the sweetest you can get.
First goat hunt with the AR, no goat but a very yummy Xmas lunch!
All the best everyone, have a brilliant XMAS and a stunning and prosper new year!

Sounds like a good day. Nice shooting!

Nice one. That will be yummy.
I assume you already knew the farmer was ok with you shooting deer when you asked to hunt goats?

YEP!
They(the deer) normally don't wonder around that part of the farm and i normally do tell him(farmer) the catches.

Cheers.
