    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!

    @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.

    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.

    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
