Thread: First walk with the new rig.

Managed to get out for a couple of days with the dog and my new gun.
Was busier than I anticipated, saw 3 hunters on the way in. That all had dogs with tracking collars but they were indicator dogs? Seemed a bit odd.
Got to my campsite just before dark so had an early night. Got up next morning, not particularly early and headed out. Jed was working well, except for walking past one
.
He must have been a bit rusty.
Anyhow, I keep following the dog. At one point he stopped dead in his tracks on the edge of a clearing. Usually he walks straight out onto them so that was good.
He was still motionless as I crept up behind him so I was confident he was on to a deer.
Sure enough, there was one on the other side of the clearing. Up with the gun and bang.
The deer ran off but I knew I had hit it well.
I called the dog in and waited a bit. As I moved out onto the clearing I could see the deer off to my right I shot it again just to make sure.
Result!
First deer in a while and first for the red dot.
I shot a hare with it when I was was sighting it in so must be a lucky Gun.
