    Great story lads. We all miss them, that's part of hunting. Those sika are very clever, shoot some dumb reds first! I've always found glassing very sucessfull with Sika, if you see them first you can plan your stalk and you have more time.

    I also imagine that the deer in those HeliSika blocks are pretty wise, I bet you wouldn't be the first person to sent some lead down the range without hitting a deer, in that block.

    But gret attitude, get back out there!

    Well done guys. Nice looking part of the country.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
