Thread: An early start with an American.

Went for a hunt today in a well hunted area although most don't hunt it well.
I had a good friend from America over for work and we had to make the most of the time we had to get out and get a Red Deer on the ground for him. We (Justin Scotty and Myself) got to the block at about 6-6.30am and had a young knobby stag on the ground with in the hour.
Justin was stoked, as was I, we used Garmin Rinos on the stalk so I sat back and watched as they stalked in and to be fair they were invaluable especially when 2 parries flew over the deer and put it on high alert, once in the area SID the Vizsla took over and led the way.



We seen about 7 for the couple hours we were on the hill before it started raining so then it was off to the pub for a well earned beer and a feed.
The first photo was taken with the Garmin Rino and the second with a Nikon D7000 so im happy with the quality of the photos it produces.

Nice one. Looks like a big bastard. That'll keep you fed for a while.

Excellent stuff MH, I bet your Yankee mate was over the moon with that.

Very Happy indeed, his boss only managed a hind with JoshC and I the other week so he is one up with a Stag.
Did you see the wind up boots on him, i was like WTF when i seen them aye.

Good stuff

Nice one fella. We should try and get out this week one evening??

First thing I noticed when I saw them

Nice one Mal

Whats the go with the boots?

The boots have a wire instead of the traditional laces and the circle on the tongue is a wind up device, so you wind the wire up by turning the circle knob and then push it down to lock it into place which holds the wire with the required tension on them.

Wow,How very "American"
