Thread: Mainly just pics, really.

My wife came out with me to help paint the hut Brian and I have built. The first night it has been slept in.
Shot a nice little deer late in the evening that my wife liked the skin on (270wsm, 375 yds). Kept the skin to be tanned. Was fortunate that the hit was low and out through the brisket so apart from a tiny hole in it still I was able to cut out the exit. It was the first time that she had been hunting with me, and it was a nice "bonding" time.

I wouldn't usually post something so personal but I hope that it encourages people to post hunting and shooting related stuff rather than some of the absolute crap I see currently and that seems to be dragging the forum and LFO into dark place.

Pics that wife mainly took:

That looks like a beautiful spot.
It is great that you have a spot that you can share with your good lady too.
I am guessing you haven't been together long? "It was the first time that she had been hunting with me.."

She doesn't look like she's questioning why she's on a hill side so i'd say thats a mission success!

I reckon they’ve been together a fair ol while. Got any photos of the internal layout of the hut Bruce?

wonderful photos,that lady has an eye for it....the other lady in your life looks happy enough for her to be there so she must be a bit of alright... lovely hide,look forward to seeing results of it tanned.

@MSL that's the lining stacked on the floor (in pic) so insulating and lining still to go up. Then 2 bunks and a fold up table. Have a little wood stove (bought through the forum) to go in too.

Good stuff BC. Great skin. Yeah agreed some of the shit posted here is not becoming of fit and proper members of society.

Make a top job of the hut @Tahr and Brian a lot more work in them then people realize. You will be surprised how warm they are when the are insulated and lined.

Kit set came from here:

I hope you took a nice bottle of wine for 'CC'

I did wonder if it was a kit set as the framing looks quite light. Pretty solid with timber cladding and lining though

Being an old fuddy duddy I hold tight to the no "guns and wine" rule. Besides, the camp stretchers were probably not up to the likely consequences

I couldn't have built it from scratch for the $5K complete with lining and veranda that the kitset cost me. The only extras above that were 3 bearers for it to sit on. Brian is knocking up a couple of sets of steps and pre cutting the bunks in his workshop to take up. being a builder he is a damn handy gadget.

Good to see the wife out on the hills with you Tahr.She will like the hut even just to read a book on the veranda.I think for 5k you got a bargain.Good work Brian,building is not easy in yr age group.Enjoy.
