Thread: Another quick bush hunt

After crawling around in a ceiling cavity putting in batts and finishing earlier than expected I took the opportunity to duck out for a quick hunt. Left home at 12.30 at the road end a bit after 1 then into it.
I headed up the track for 5 mins then cut off up a ridge I’d hunted once before. I forgot how poxy the supplejack was for the first 150m, seemed to take an age to get through it. After that the bush opened up a bit and lots of fresh sign so was going super slow. Came up to a nice little terrace and something caught my eye. I was looking at the mid section of a deer about 20m away but no good shot, it moved after a minute or so behind a tree, a step to the side by me and I got snapped, she was head up looking straight at me so no mucking around gave her one in the chest and down she went, 2 more bolted then slowed to a trot, I got a quick shot away as it moved through a gap in the trees, hit but a bit far back. Followed up and dispatched her 40m away. 2 deer down soo close to the track, stoked!
Boned out back legs of the 2 took the back steaks and made my way out. Love it when it all goes smoothly, especially in the bush as there’s seldom second chances.

good on ya she looks in good nick

No ribs showing there,enjoy the veni.Huntings gota be better than placeing batts in the ceiings.

Well done.

Good effort....it's nice when a hunt falls into place.

Machine!!!

So easy, the meat will taste good.

Sometimes it just sounds too easy. Well done, good to get one close to the car now and then.

Nice job. Well done.

Thats how it plays out in my mind before every hunt (minus the supple jack), good to see its not impossible…. well played.

Anything would be better than putting batts in the ceiling ......................
