    Came back to camp after the second day of hunting to find Rushy had baked up a scone for a post hunt snack

    Attachment 12441
    Fellow steaks cooked up over the camp fire for the second night at Rushy's roost

    Attachment 12442

    Attachment 12443
    Venison and garlic sausages cooked over the fire to go with the steak

    Attachment 12444
    Fried onion and mushrooms to go with the venison along with potatoes, beans and broccoli to complement already bloody good eating

    With people dropping out of the forum hunt left right and centre, Rushy proposed we go to his roost as a plan B and chase after reds in minginui/whirinaki. And what a choice it was, I never thought you could be so spoilt for comfort or eating on a hunt but i never been more wrong. He definitely has his shit together when it comes to setting up a camp and cooking a good feed. The hunting wasn't easy but we gave it our all and came close a few times but no cigar. The morning of the second hunt myself phillipgr and deadisbetter were walking down a old logging track when we stopped to check out a game trail when we notices steam rising up from a small clearing in the on the opposite side of the track, after we stopped and listened for a while we had a pretty fair idea there was a dear not ten meters away from us behind this large dead fall, sneaking around /over these trees was impossible without making a racket resulting in us hearing the dear crunch off through the bush. I decided to crawl under and dig through the fallen trees in an attempt to stalk it if it hadnt taken off too far leaving my rifle as it had a round stuck in the tube and was a bit too close for comfort, only to emerge on the opposite side to see a spiker standing there looking at me only to run away again before phillipgr could chuck my gun over, followed his sign for a little while only to see his arse as he popped up and over a hill in the distance. All in all turned out to be good trip with a good bunch of blokes, hunting hard, sinking some piss, eating great and talking shit around the fireplace.

    Gotta get you back down there Dean.
    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
