    All I can say is take in every bit of info you read on here and apply it, and keep sussing out you bush on google earth, before and after your hunt.

    Very nice indeed. Well done.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Fallow Buck

    Shot this nice buck yesterday at secret spot X somewhere in Central Otago. Was really hard to see as light was fading late in the afternoon but spyed him way up high resting behind a Kanuka tree. Could only see his antlers at a distance. Had to make the shot up high at about 250 metres with the wind swirling mainly from the wrong direction. Took 3 shots in the lower chest, one in neck to drop him. Thought it was all over but he made a move and it took a bit to take him down and slit his throat. Never over till the fat lady sings!

    Yep, shot on private land. Been roaming there for a while. Bit better than the one I got a couple of years back in a slightly different pos. R.

    Thanks Scudd & Rushy and VC as well. Was interested to note when I slit the stomach open that it was a real tan brown colour and found some fresh shit along the water race we walked around with that same colour. There was plenty of other sign in the area above the deer including bushes effed up and fresh hind shit but nothing else in the vicinity. It was like he shagged himself tired and just laying down to chill out after the job was done. Not sure what he was eating but I'll be taking note for next time. Anyone have any ideas on how to Douglas score fallow? R

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
