About LinkBacksDragged myself out of bed this morning for a hunt. I haven't been for a decent deer hunt in quite some time due to various things and I always find it a bit of a challenge to get back into it, anyway.... Drive, walk, glass = two deer spotted in between shifting clag. No wind, 389m, 20 degrees, 2.3mil and we're away.
First shot felt good but the animal disappeared from view. Next minute I spot two deer right next to where my target was just standing.
' Bugger ' I thought, ' must have missed, I've only seen two deer of this face, and both those two look healthy '. So I took aim at the yearling and with the second shot of the day she toppled over. 'Hmm did I get the first one as well?'
After a tight steep trip to the general area where I thought my targets were, the dog was sent off to earn his dinner. Upon hearing the familiar sounds of my gsp busily plucking a deer I made my way over to find that this must be the first animal I shot as I could see the second dead from my vantage... 'Oh dear looks like I'm in for a big carry today...'
First one
Second.
Both animals seemed to me to be heavily moulting, guess it's that time of year.
Random saw
Tired dog

Good story
🏾twofors are good until you have to carry them though.
The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

Bloody good work.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

140gr going slow. I had a heap of it loaded from when the barrel was longer before the suppressor fitting. Projectile was doing something like 1900fps at impact. Still worked really well.
Yeah, I like my MK5, not as smooth as a sako but it's practical enough.
