Home Arrest Relief Two - Hits and Misses Volume Two

I'm on leave so I thought I'd make another video to help you pass the time and to remind myself how luck I am to be able to hunt in this country with so many wonderful people.

Kia Kaha - this can't go on for ever. :-)

At least we're able to isolate in a well resourced and healthy country close to family and friends.

Excellent Craig, cheers

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers I needed that.:thumbsup:

Sons x 2: the odd hit, some misses
Grandson: hits
Father: Many hits :)

Cheers

Good stuff thanks for that!

Thanks Craig. Keep well, we need hunting pictures more than ever these days.

That was cool, great to see some of the reactions when hit (or missed). Sorta don't see that when your pulling the trigger.

Thanks for that.

Yeah it’s interesting alright. All of the ‘instant kills’ were with my custom built .284 using 162 A-Max. I don’t have a large enough sample yet but no instant knock downs with the 300 RUM using 210 Bergers. I’m going to keep filming it and I’ll try to get one side on!

Yes the 284 Win seems to be a great performer, my next rifle may be one someday. I noticed some of the on the spot kills looked like the Hilar shot ( might be wrong) they sure went down quick.
I shot quite a good size Red stag several years back with my 300 Rum with a 208 gr A Max, 90 yards quatering away from me. Hit behind the shoulder the bullet exited front of chest, that stag folded all his legs up under his belly and lay there on his belly, never seen a twitch of anything stone dead. I suppose 4500 odd foot pounds energy has to account for something. Have you tried any of the ELD X or A Max in your Rum?

Yeah. I tried everything in this rifle and the only thing that shot was the Berger.

Awsome video ,I enjoyed watching that !
What was the gun with the louder retort later on in the video ?

Wicked video, thanks for sharing with us.

Cheers. The loudest thing would have been the 300 RUM with a radial muzzle brake. Hard on ears and deer.

great watch thankyou....

Nice work, some plentiful country by the looks!

A for Awesome

I wasn't going to mention it, but since you did . . . who was the capped figure who required 3 shots at a deer that went down into the gully behind the electric fence?? I was praying for a touch on the top wire whilst "distracted" but alas it must have been off!!

Cheers Craig. Kia Kaha to you too

He didn't show the 2 dead deer that resulted from the three shots. The first one didn't require shooting again - 2 shots at the second one on the run. Yes, one miss.

Don't worry, those electric fences have got me a few times. Better than having a pace maker :)

Thanks Craig,that filled in a few minuts.I like the bang flops,run aways not so much.;)

Me too. But reality is like that. :-)
I’m not a fan of higher shoulder shots anyway, whilst they drop deer quickly, they waste back steak; the reason for shooting deer.
