Thread: BBB & Meat Stacking

Reading this brought a tear to my eye Tahr, hope Tilly makes it home for a bit longer. 252, what a tally, as many have said before, you probably shoot more deer in a year than most of us will in a lifetime.

Congrats on the 12 Brian. Great looking head.

Good to hear Tilly is home and comfortable.

Nice head Brian you’d be happy with that result.

Sadly dogs always go too soon, but that is what dogs do.
Thank you for sharing, best read I had in weeks.
Hope you get a new dog, you seems to offer them a good life.

My hunting dog went the same way a few months ago. Collapsed in the back end. She was a lab / heading dog x and was pretty handy. Made it to 10. To be fair she had a tough life. Up and down steep ridges, in and out of slippery cold creeks and pushing through lots of thick undergrowth. All this in the ruahines, kawekas and ahimanawas.
But when she found a deer she smiled and knew that venison was on the menu.
Picking up a new straight heading dog pup on Wednesday. Will hopefully start doing some work with it in the spring.
Hope your dog has the winter by the fire.

Congrats on the great Stag Brian
Sad to hear of Tillys retirement but glad she is relaxing at home now Thar.
It is a great shame dogs dont live very long but it does mean you get to make memories with many threw your life.

Always enjoyed your hunt reports & sad to hear about Tilly , I can remember when you 1st got the pup , live the dream... good on you .

minty!
