Ok so a family outing had been booked in the Wairarapa, Alex and i decided to chuck the dog and rifle in "Just In Case". We headed over on Friday night to stay with friends in the northern Wairarapa. Sure enough there was time for a wander on there farm on Saturday morn before heading back Welly side.
I wrangled Alex out of bed at 4.30, We saw a wonderful sun rise on out way to the first look out. The wind was going to be a factor for today but we carried on regardless. Anyway long story short we spotted a few and 2 came home. After the first shot the white one and now a new brown one popped out the side, Having not seen the first one go down under recall I decided I should take this in case I had winged the first one. Turned out I had got them both. Alex took both sets of back steaks and I took 4 back legs. Not one grumble from the boy, I was stoked with that. Took 1 3/4 hours to get back. The meat was greatfully accepted by a mate who's freezer broke down with a truck load of meat in it
Now before anyone gets tangled under garments we sat and watched these for a good 10 mins and worked out they were not in pup nor had any stashed, The first one shot was last years fawn and the other one just out of pic was a year older. The white one hung around for ages after its 2 mates went missing. I would have let Alex shoot but the wind was a bit of a factor.
Anyway enjoy this short film
