    Great Start to the year!

    Went up to one of our private fallow and sambar blocks with HH2, Hunter his 8 month old GWP and my little girl Ellie.

    Was an amazing trip, saw 30 deer over the 3 days, Hunter indicated his first deer, Ellie showed that she loved hunting, doesn't mind a big gun and found out that she loves deer on the ground! and to top it off we managed to take a nice buck.
    out of this area they do get a bit bigger but this is pretty close to as good as you find.
    No monster maybe around the 205-210 DP region but a great hunt and with a 453m heart shot on film had him on the deck.
    caped him out for a wall pedestal and having the velvet injected.
    More pics to come when I get them.
    Cheers,
    BH

    Are you not supposed to say touché when you thrust a sword and get a strike like that VC? Great cross thread monitoring.
    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

    Unique "trophy", I have a friend who has a couple of whitetail bucks and a sika stag mounted in velvet, and they look quite cool. Hard to beat that dark polished up hard antler though
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
