Thread: What do you Say!!!

Nothing wrong with a Solo hunt, no one to blame for any cockups and only yourself top pat on the back when it all goes to plan.

Leave intentions with someone, sounds like you on to it in that regard anyway, get amongst it an enjoy.

From group above your good to go out to 200M, that's a bloody long way, if I doubt you need to close the gap so hence the stalking bit.

If bush hunting then practice at 50M freehand is great, I use a 10cm target to practice this stuff, about the size of a deer neck as often that's all you have in the bush.

Have fun

Join a Deerstalkers club and go on club hunts

As hunt4life said, be aware of your scope settings. Drop the magnification down when you are going into the bush and up again when hunting more open areas. Be aware of yourself as much as the surroundings.

Hunting with a mate last year and watched from a distance as he brought his rifle up. Then heard the dead mans click. Thought he had one up the spout. fortunately it was a dumb spiker and he managed to load a round and drop it

TGF.. Thank God its friday.. getting more & more excited as time ticks away today.. Have almost packed everything for the Solo hunt.. few of my friends whom I had invited to join (non hunters but meat lovers) were very surprised to know that am making a solo trip.. they said I should take some one.. thats when I told them, that i have asked every1 I know would want to no avail. I cant be ruining my passion coz friends are not willing to join..

Last night while having a kava session at home one of the friends who rejected the offer of joing said "if you manage to shoot a deer just drop me a call and I will come down to where I was to help carry out" bloody greedy buggar".. doesnt want to come on the trip but is ready to come strip the meat.. some cunning Fijians out here.. lol

Anyways I will be posting the trip report come Sunday evening..

Wish me luck

Cheers

All the best
The ones who put their hand out are the ones you give the shitty cuts of meat to. Keep all the good bits for yourself

Its time to ditch the free riders..

Not bad shooting initaz. If your shots are all over the place at times, it could be because you are changing your position on the scope slightly, or various other reasons, breathing control etc.
Do you have a cheek rest on it on you butt?, this will bring your eye position to the same place every time, hopefully.
I have a mauser 6.5 x 55 too and just been to the range, if you like check my video out to see bullet drop at different ranges.

By the way....good luck with the hunting.
