OK so I was away for a while and missed the post VC, but I am here now and happy to assume the responsibilities of my office as the president of the dirty old mans club. Excellent angle on the prone shooter by the way. You are clearly a skilled photographer artfully using the light to highlight the prominent features. Nice to see that the pins are back too Dougie. Good to see you meeting the pleas of your fan club.
Good stuff dude!! There's no way I would have seen any without my helpers. Sweet animals deer eh...I like how they freeze just to tease you, make you think you had a shot, then bugger off! I've yet to get a pig yet. That'll make my year I think.Quote:

Someone take Dougie for a pig hunt
Great Stuff Dougie! looks like you had a blast. :thumbsup: Congrats on bagging your first deer too! Good on KiwiGreg and VietnamCam for helping you out, top blokes! :cool:
Would be a rush for her for sure, Not sure how she would like seeing a dog ripped up or killed........... Dougie ?Quote:

Summer not good dogs can die from the heat.
Spotlighting sounds alright, I'll pass on the dog hunts thanks.
Bailing dogs Dougie, heaps of fun
Check out my old post in dogs- RIP Maddy, never had a poke,poor old girl had a brain tumour, but yea respect your choice
Each to their own, I'm not going to try to stop people from using dogs for pigs - they're bloody good at it, that's their calling in life! But I just couldn't hack it myself. I had a few weird emotions going on with that deer tbh - such a beautiful, powerful animal. I felt a little sick for most of the weekend but got a bit of a lump in my throat during his last few moments.
Not so much for the goat though :P weird, huh! And I have no problem squishing a fly, or even a mouse. Funny how us humans seem to be a breed apart when it comes to killing.
Yea fair enough, i know what your saying,everyone should have a healthy respect for the game we hunt
And yea its funny how we all have differant feelings toward the differant animals, i dont hunt ducks,i like them on my pond
That's awesome!! :D I also find it interesting how we have domesticated animals and put emotions to them - I wonder if my dog actually does feel 'happy' or 'sad' or more complex emotions like remorse or hold grudges? Or is he just like a sheep or some other animal. Cool to think about.Quote:

Compassion?
Each to there own, for me its remorse for killing a beautiful animal that was just going about its life.
Compassion well hopefully i managed to kill it quickly with no suffering so nothing to be compassionate about.
Either way its respect for the animal:thumbsup:
I still remember the first Fallow Doe I shot stalking in the bush.
She was stunning with big brown eyes & extra long eye lashs just like a Jersey calf :oh noes:
I patted her & apologised.
But i bet she tasted good Kiwi Greg
Yep, you will struggle to get better Venison than Fallow :thumbsup:Quote:

The same Cam, 36 grain. And thanks Greg, you're the man. I kept that in my hot little pocket for a few days. Made me feel good :)
