    Couldn't get over how wet it was, the ground is holding that much water now heading into winter, I think you're right about a wet winter on the coast will see a lot of slips.

    Not back there for a fortnight, will be up the coast this time in a different spot.

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    @Smiddy sounds like @R93 is telling you to turn round and go back

    Stags Shot 2018

    Did a 9km loop last night into the mountains after work, once the rain had cleared.

    Bit of a rushed mission, but worth the sweat. Stags were ripping into it. Saw a few, long way off tho.

    Stalked a couple of spikers. And had a neat run in with a young chamois.













    Happy days.

    Josh

    Just been in the hills for 6 days, if it wasn’t blowing it’s arse off it was raining, managed these two, first one was out feeding, poor head on a big bodied animal so he went, second one is an old 9 that I got Bush stalking, fatest deer I’ve ever shot.
    deer numbers seen were well down, area has been visited by Hales & co, few moans heard & only found one wallow that had been used, both stags didn’t even have a hint of being pissed up.
