Yep, promising fella. He got pushed out by a bigger one a day after I took that photo. I tried to get close to the bigger one to assess him properly, but the wind stuffed me up. I'll head up tomorrow for a look, and will be back chasing them in the weekend. They're awesome deer to hunt at this time of year.

Haha, I don't mean to make anyone jealous. I just love being in the outdoors and hunting. It was how I grew up. I don't do much else than hunt/fish, a bit of socialising so I still have a few friends (lol), but I put a lot of effort into making time to hunt, and still work a 40+ hour week and juggle family time. It usually means big days and late nights and I'm always tired but you only live once and I want to hunt as much as I can while I'm young enough to do it. At this time of year I'll work when the weather is crappy, and hunt when it's fine. Income definitely drops a bit but winter time is a very busy work time for me which makes up for it. The missus gets a bit annoyed, but she knows how much it means to me and gets over it pretty quick.

As for the hunting spots, get out there, do some foot work and start looking. Over 90% of my hunting is done on public land. All spots found by me, none "recommended" by someone else etc. All but maybe a couple of the roar photos I've put up in this thread have been taken on public land. I generally don't even take photos on private land hunts, as they're normally just meat hunting trips. The animals are always there, you just need to spend time to find them.

Took a long weekend to hunt National Park DOC land.
Found lots of fresh boot tracks every where, and loads of man poo and toilet paper around the place! Other hunters parked up over the weekend (pack yr Hi viz).

Me and a mate did some miles over 4 days. Last morning had another sleep in, pushed me bum back in with a stick grew a pair and went for a short trot km up road from camp, nailed this red about an hour from the road. Surprising as two of us where crashing about broken arsed, coughing, hacking and wheezing.



Mint got some red in the fridge now. Yeaboy.

Had to come back to work for a rest. We were only there 4 days, but between 2 of us ate $200 worth of groceries...
It was a megameatathon. We chowed 3 packs of proper sausages, 2 family packs of steak, a pack of chops, 2 packs of bacon, a roast chook, 2 dozen eggs, plus bickies and stuff. It was a struggle to leave the camp!

Listening to your story,you guys won't be scared by a whole deer for desert :-)
