Thread: quck over nighter in the Tararuas

Hello all, brand new to this site so thought Id start with a photo and a short yarn.
I went out to one of my locals spots in the Tararua's that's always given me a good success rate, the deer sign was fairly average I guess, no better or worse than usual. I got onto a hind in the bush yesterday but she gave me the slip, (cant win em all) so out again this morning for quick look on the flats, I poked my head around a corner and this fella and one of his girlfriends was in the Toitoi on the bush edge, the spiker was broadside looking at me so no time to goof around, a quick up and shoot saw him lung shot at around 60 metres distance, he ran about 10 yards and ran out of steam. The freezer will be refreshed after its hung for a few days, and I'm now at home resting up after a well earned shower and cold one. I'll probably give it a couple of weeks and go again, I'll take the fishing rod next time, any excuse to laze around the river in the heat of the day.
