    @Micky Duck you are a real gentleman. Thank you for retrieving my hat and also bring out a specimen for me. Two tramps in a week you must be 48volt I'm still sore from Wednesday so I must only be 12v

    Redemption day today. Had a few things I wanted to tick off. Get out with Rumpy again. Tick. Find out if stalking around a certain face a certain way is worthwhile...if "someone who shall remain nameless" didn't miss,yes very much so.tick #2 . find out what back pack sized orange blob down in scrub was,we had spotted it from eight hundy yards away the other day.found it and moved to more appropriate position#3 ticks. Go down and bomb a few more wallabies#4 tick.. use up some old 270 loads #5 tick although not without drama as had case stick in chamber and extractor kept riding over it...but of fence wire sorted that.

    Great day out, really don't know how the fallow buck didn't die from a 15m shot. Maybe their necks are skinnier than I thought. Did hit a wallaby at 250m with the 223 so pretty happy with that.
    Feeling like I've done a decent walk so the fitness should be improved.

    Don't fall off this rock. It's a long way down to the creek.

    Shot animal long way away today was a huge effort to recover meat.three hours back to car. Fair rooted but my soul is at peace. Just getting out and exercising is doing me world of good.

Size:  2.53 MB now like many DOC controlled blocks in south canterbury....the local wildlife KNOWS where the boundary line is as skirts along JUST outside it every day..sometimes I swear they poke tongue out at us mere humans...but they only need to make one little geographical error ,and sometimes,just sometimes we are in right place at right time to take advantage of it
