Thread: Been awhile

Hunting has takin a back seat last few years, got into LR, had a fair few rifles with teething issues and really took the fun out of it all

But been trying to get back on the wagon

Hitched a ride in a r22 to the tops on Friday at 4pm, the rain hit not long after landing.

Friday night spent glassing in the rain, 1 hind and Twins spotted, no stags

Rain eased around 4am

Up at daylight, rather claggy, sidle round and drop into the guts as useless using the binos

Get onto some fresh sign and a couple of guts over I have a stag standing there looking at me, holding 6 hinds, bang bang bang it's finally down, buck fever was pumping hard - it's been awhile, 11 pts PB

Back over the ridge to camp, pack camp up and head for the exit, an open creek head, only a few wee waterfalls to get past, found a good cast with great length on the way down

4hrs to the bottom and set up camp at 5pm, couldn't walk any thurther, legs and back were shot

Up before daylight today, been raining all night, had to get down valley before river rose and becomes uncrossable, only 3hrs back to the wagon

Feel quite good about it all
