i like dumb ones

i haven't been out as much as id like since becoming a trophy husband so i sorted a day out . farked around for half a day till on the way out i heard some crunching and munching wasn't hopeful of getting a shot away as the wind was all over the place , so i dropped my bag and sat waiting . waited 15min with the wind sometimes right and other times so so wrong . then one deer then another walk in view it sounded like another few were about out of view as i closed the bolt found the neck and let strip. bang flop! the other hind looks at me i look at her . i dont shoot as one's enough since im in a new bit of bush . gland i didn't shoot the other one as it was a minor bit of poo getting back to the ute. Attachment 263237 also whats this plant ? a rhododendron ?Attachment 263238

Can't help with the plant sorry, not my field, but well done finding the deer. Least you know where a few more are for next time.

Nice workload! Yep looks Like a Rhododendron to me.

OK I'll admit it

Thread title was nothing like what I expected

Also the smart ones can be dumb as a bag of spanners sometimes so thank fuck for that

Great you have freezer filler.always nice when plan works out in the wind. Yip rhody... poisonous to animals so should survive well lol.

Good work! Nice when they make things easy. Can't say I would have been as forward-thinking when the second one popped out, but I reckon it's cool just watching them sometimes.

Hard to tell from the pics, but could be an azalea. Same family as rhodo's. There's some thing about the number of stamens... can't remember what it is, but rhodo's have I think it's double what azaleas have. Azaleas also have less leathery, and slightly more pointy leaves - the underside of the leaf is how you can usually tell. Was the spot anywhere near somewhere that could have had an old farm settlement nearby?
