    Bloody good yarn mate! Bone and skin certainly adds up on the carry out doesn't it.

    and a WHITE dog bouncing around wont be helping your cause either...try a light coat for her,hopefully it might flick a switch to calm down...for some reason it does wit hMeg when we put her pack on.
    you might try keeping dog at heel/in behind when she gets too bouncy.Meg hates it and calms right down so can be out in front again...
    being in rotund shape myself (read fat hua) going slowly in the bush is much easier than when I was super fit...OK alright,I stop for look around breather more often..and it seems to up my sucess rate.
    enjoy your venison.

    Loved the story, at least you are honest in your approach to the hunt. Should have a good few feeds of that animal. Boning your animal out will certainly ease the weight on your shoulders and knees on the way out next time.

    Thanks for the tale. I have seen the F--k you look from a dog once twice too but they usually redeem themselves a little later.
    If you have a garden and a library, you have all you need. Oh, and a dog, and a rifle

    Great story, and I enjoyed the writing style. We all hunt for different (but often aligned) reasons, and you match a lot of people in the joy of being there - but bringing meat as well as memories home is grrrreat

    I don't know if you noticed, but your hat seems to be on backwards.
