Thread: Film: Red hind hunting

Great video. A bit bigger than your usual deer. Couldn't just drag them along to the Argo! :-).

No I find that it disburbs my shooting position too much. In a later episode I push the correct button on the close camera and you'll see how I work when reloading:
I reach forward with my right hand and the rifle stays in the shoulder, eyes darting between the deer and the ammunition. So I need to put my ammunition almost up by the right bipod leg.

I'm not sure there is anything harder than Fiordlands for hunting, but yes the midges are HOR-RI-BLE. Big numbers, very aggressive, invades eyes, ears, nose, mouth and are small enough to zip through an ordinary mosquito net and avoid a slap.

Try this? For your ammo solution

That was a very beautiful leather carrier, but very much outside my budget. I was gifted something similar from Rigby, superb leather quality, but I am afraid to take it outside as I appreciate the craftsmanship too much to actually use it. Opposite story of the handmade leather belt I was gifted in NZ in 2008 - also superb leather quality and I've used/maintained it for 8 years now and love it. You catch a glimpse of it at time 1:32 in this film.

If I could have 6 extra I think I would be well covered. That would make a total of 10 rounds and I don't think I'll shoot more than 8 in one go.

Yes, he is a bastard half lab. Cannot remember the other half, but he had a noticably "springier" gait than a lab, more like a birddog.

Ah I made the mistake of dropping 6 deer outside Argo reach on the last day. It wasn't too long a drag to get them somewhere accessible, but with my weak hand it takes forever and it was still pretty dark by the time I was in the car...

I probably have enough material for 5 more films, will put them in as I find time. Christmas nightmare around the corner, so don't hold your breath...
