    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Nice to see some stags hitting the deck. I almost got my first stag yesterday in the bush, almost! He was moaning as I was coming down a ridge, and was about 30m away when I first spotted him trotting around. My legs turned to jelly as I had dreamed of this moment for years, and it was just down to me to make it happen. My god he was huge, the biggest stag I've laid on eyes on in the flesh, big head and body, and some impressive tall antlers with some good girth. I readied myself for the shot as he went into some ferns oblivious to my presence and gave them a good thrashing. This presented no shot so I crept forward a bit as he was preoccupied and stopped hoping he would move out from the ferns and present a shot. He then stopped what he was doing and there was silence. A few seconds later I hear and see him running full tit away. I reflected on what had happen and concluded he had got wind of me. That's hunting for you. Moving on to another area I found a bunch of deer moving through the tight bush. One hind made its way towards me 10m away and bedded down in front of me while a few soft groans came from a stag some 30m away. Stale mate, and I was in somewhat of a pickle as what I should do. I couldn't move or groan like a stag as the hind would alert others once she stood up and looked my way, so I just stood there admiring this hind which then wanted to get back up and join the others which had moved on. I tried to sneak in after them hoping they would think I was one of them, but lost them in the thick stuff. I think I've honed in some key bush skills now, and I'm sure a stag will hit the deck sometime soon. I'll be one happy chap when I do.

    Finally shot something to hang on the wall, roaring in a small open section just on day break, zapped him at 268m. Took a while to stalk in on him, a great hunt.

    Roared this guy in to about 10m after an hour stand off, this was a really exciting hunt, especially when he single called 10m behind me, shit me pants, man they move so quickly and dam quiet in the bush. dragged him into a clearing for photo purposes.

    It is unofficial yet as it needs to be remeasured 60 days from when shot.
    We got him 2 weeks ago.
    Let's just say he lives up to his name for now.

    Nice one, was hoping we'd see it up soon.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
