A quick walk up the back

It has been a prick of a year as far as my ability to go hunting has been concerned. I have even been too busy to take a Fallow up the back. Tonight when I got home at half past five the sun was shining the air was still and dinner was a ways off so I thought fuck it I am going to get some venison for the BBQ.

Down came the .243, in went the 100gr Federal PSP, walking was about 175 metres, I saw a yearling doe, she'll do, drop down out of sight, sneak maybe 80 metres, crawl, 25, leopard crawl 20 (you stupid fat old prick what do you think you are doing, you left the army in 76. Nek minnit "bang". Slow stroll home, back on the quad.

No Toby, not even any knicks on the fingers. That was a long time ago by the way and a pure accident.

Close. But it is too easy and not what I consider as hunting ( even with the bloody sneaking and leopard crawl), more just shooting really.

I will be making a point of getting in the bush alot next year.

Then we should get down the Uruwera. I am beginning to meet quite a few on here that could make a decent trip of it. Definitely going to spend a week in the red deer roar.

I'll put my hand up for this one. I have two.

Just need to take them for more walks.

Good work there Rushy, wouldn't have had time to work up a sweat by the sounds of it.

VC this was the rifle that I put the Leupold onto that freed up the scope for your wife's rifle. I guess the zeroing worked well. It was a down hill shot of about 85 meters across a gully and the bullet went straight through the front left wheel into the lungs so was doubly happy. When my Missus saw me come back without a deer on my back she asked me whether I had missed. Cheeky bitch was with a friend and had a big smile on her dial as she knew exactly what I was doing.

Here is what she looked like broken down. I wanted to get some salami done so the fore Quarters, neck, shin, brisket meat etc is in a bag in the freezer bound for the butcher. I will steak her next weekend.
