    GH Strip 2-9th March

    Well after some PM's on both forums we met at Helisika's hangar on Sunday morning....handshakes all around and we were off.
    The hut was set up, bunks chosen, and maps consulted.

    We played spot the Sika


    We saw some scenery



    and we had some smiles


    a huge thanks to the guys that made it happen......I left 2.3kg on the hill, and took 15 kgs of veni to the homekill guy this morning....roll on April and May!!!

    Both 6's, two DOC guys came through on a pellet count to ascertain numbers, and said the stripped one was probably 6-7 years old. ........

    If I'm not mistaken that is when they're in their prime so I don't think those guys would've gone 8 at any time. Good stuff man, I hope I get a sika stag this roar - it'll be my first time hunting them in the rut

    Way to go B. Well done.
    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
