    Spent a solid month hunting other places during the roar and finally got back to see if this guy was still around.
    Found him with 6 mixed age hinds at 1500m and pulled off an easy stalk in to 310m for a short wait and regulation shot in the shoulder.

    Nice to finally get him as I had seen him a couple of times last year also.

    He was a big unit but in poor condition compared to the stags I shot during the roar.
    Nice. Tell us about your pup?

    Josie GWP bitch, 8 years old and done a lot of hunting in that time.
    Exclusively a deer dog and finds and points well.
    Great company and a good excuse to get out often.
    Puts me on to plenty of deer and has only ever cocked up a could of hunts herself.
    Hard to get her to stay still in the photos as she is very amped up after shooting a deer.
    She has a saddle bag pack that I carry in my day pack ( too noisy for hunting ) and she helps by carrying out some of the meat.
    Slows her down to only twice my speed on the walk out.

    Load her up on the walk in too! Went hunting with my mate and his lab. He pulled blue cheese and crackers out of the dogs panniers!

    Yes I do load her up on multi day walk ins.
    She can comfortably carry 1/3 rd of her body weight and that takes a bit of the load off me.
    You do have to watch out for rubbing across the dogs chest from the straps when its been on for a number of days, its been wet or its heavily loaded.
    For day hunts having the saddle bag in my day pack is just perfect though.
