JW103 - another big goat down

Out early for a goat hunt on Saturday morning - we have access into a private bush block that has a bit of grass on some flats that works its way into native.
Making our way up the middle of the valley we spied some goats - sneaked up the side of the ridge and both JW's opened up and we had about 7-8 goats on the deck.
Recovered the back wheels off the eaters and hid them in the shade.
We made our way up the main ridge - checking each siding for more, but nothing to be seen, just far too hot.
Along the main ridge the clearings eventually give way into a small block of pine inter-dispersed with native, we were just making our way through when I heard a strange semi grunting noise at fairly regular intervals.
I mentioned this to my hunting partner and we split up by about 20mtrs and started sneaking forward. I paused in a clearing section and through the native spied a head/neck, waited for what seemed an eternity to allow a bit more sight picture and boom.
9.40am she was on the deck - hard slog back to the car, but back at the farm by lunch, for a feed and wee siesta.
This JW103 is really becoming quite favourity - I'm really enjoying a shorter lighter gun in the bush, fast pointing and easy carry - yet the round still has good knockdown and much cheaper to run than my .308.
Being king of all things quality - I chuckle at a sub $400 gun running cheap steel cased ammo still bringing home a feed
