Thread: Back door spiker

yup, we were seeing mobs of deer in the valley about 300m from the deck (elevated house site) One morning I jogged down the long drive and half way up the ROW, then collapsed on the ground. When I had stopped coughing up blood I quietly walked the rest, crossed the stream and walked up to about 70m of em. Bang, Bang. Two on the ground. The yearling was hit in the upper shoulder on a funny angle and looked like he might make a dash for it, so Bang Bang Bang. Three in the dirt and no ammo left. Jog back up the hill and get my knife.....Returned in the Cruiser and slit its throat, Lots of blood in there, Any Vegans reading this?
Then skinned and gutted them. Got a home kill guy to butcher them.... holy shit that cost $450! Next time Ill be having a go myself.

I was happy to leave the deer around the house, but the council advised us that they were to be culled.....Cue freezer.

Good lord,I usually drive 3hrs each way ,walk for hours just to see a deer ..let alone once in a while I’m right place right time to shoot one,then I have to butcher and carry the thing for a few kms back to the car..and the Mrs still calls my hunting a “hobby”
