    Just tap em on the head mate

    Went for a wander in the pissing rain with the old man on Saturday looking for a Sambar stag. Looks like there are still a few rutting going by the big rake marks in the wallows so might be spending the long weekend chasing them round. Didn't actually see a single sambar.

    Spotted a couple of Fallow and a mate had asked for a deer the night before so this guy was very unlucky to be sitting out in the rain as I would have normally left him to it.

    Knocked him on the head with a 168grain Amax from 200. Never knew what hit him.

    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
