Thread: All work……. Little bit of play!

Starting my own business with a good mate a few months back has seen my weekend hunting passes ( and energy) greatly reduced, however being our own bosses has put us in contact with some real good buggers who are only to happy to have us take a few unwanted animals out of the blocks we work.
My mate is just going through the waiting game for his license , but this fallow doe provided his first deer solid shot to for a first at 180m, after a decent wait of about 90 mins for her to reappear from somethick Manuka
Here’s a few pics

Had enough pace to catch this guy before work , after work I would of had no chance.

My first buck (alright spiked) made the mistake of showing up same place 2 days in a row.

After work bonus

All meat utilised between our 2 families and friends and a couple of pot lickers.

Has totally reinstalled my faith there are some great land owners out there if you show a bit of integrity and just ask the honest question they are only to happy to let you harvest some meat…………. We even did the work we were there for

Looks good nothing like a few perks of the job. @Sparrow try not to wear blue if your stalking in on deer. They can see this a lot easier than other colours.

“ it seems that the worst color you can wear is blue. Deer eyes lack the ultraviolet light filter that human and other longer-lived animals have, which means they see blues and other short-wavelength colors about twenty times better than we do. “Blue jeans are much more vivid to a deer than blaze orange,”

Might help up the tally

That's a bloody nice spotty skin right there are you getting it tanned?

Yep one dark and one light of to the tannery, I don’t get the chance to shoot many fallow so I am slightly over gunned and unfortunately the .308 makes 2 larger holes than I would of liked

The 308 stops them walking after the hit.Enjoy.

Unbeatable. Being able to hunt in the work zone is something that is priceless.
Very good meat. My congratulations.
