    I really enjoy reading your hunting reports. Tilly has fast earned a reputation. Looks like you just got that spiker with a spine shot? 243?

    Beautiful hunting country there, and good hunting skills. The Cannon G series are simple and great aye. I need to carry my G11 around more in the bush I reckon.

    He was back onto me and down hill. Aimed just behind his shoulders on the spine line. Pretty much where I hit him.
    Yes, 243 and 95 grn Targex.

    Glad you enjoyed It was from the spiker.

    Yeah, she’s pretty cool. Not perfect, but quite a character. Here’s another couple of pics of her.

    Great report. Nice skins on those animals - well, apart from the one with the nasty hole below the spine!!

    They are beautiful animals. The skins were just starting to turn. I considered keeping the one off the hind but it was just a little bit patchy. And it was an uphill carry

    The spiker was nice as you say, if it hadn’t been for the air vent.
