Thread: Tells its own story

I have hunted a couple places in the ruahinies. River and track access. Only once we havnt seen an animal, Usually someone or 2 in the hunting party will get one glassing and shooting them on the slips.
Yet to get one in the bush. But spoked a couple. And last weekend my dog put us onto two, she winded them and we moved to the rivers edge not 10 seconds later a hind and yearling came down the other side and started crossing the river. Yearling slightly in front. My mate was waiting for a shot on the hind and just as the opportunity arose they bolted.
He was very apologetic, wished he had of just shot the yearling. Ild much rather hunt with someone who picks his animal and waits for a shot than just blasting away at the first thing that steps into view.
Big props to people who bush or river hunt them without a dog. Without my dog we would of kept walking and these two would of crossed 50m behind us if our scent didn't scare them off.
