    Like the others I’ll say have another look in the morning, I shot a deer across a river flat one evening, spent 15-20mins looking as light gradually faded but not dark before declaring a lousy shot (about 250m ish with a crap rest), went back at dawn and glassed the same patch of grass for 2 hours from my previous shooting spot hoping one of his mates might pop out. About to head home when the slightly rounded patch of tussock in my binos was enough to tempt me across the river for a closer look.
    Undecided whether he was the luckiest or unluckiest deer in NZ, had been aiming for his chest but there he was with a hole in his temple, would have been nano second instantaneous which is what we all want.
    Hope piggy is waiting for you this morning!
