Productive hunt

Steve 338 and myself shot away on Friday for a couple of nights. The idea being to score some more meat for BBQ season. Just the condensed version - Basically the weather was crap for hunting deer in. Wind , Wind and more wind blowing from all points of the compass. In saying that we shot a deer each. Spotted, Observed / photographed another 16 odd. Once we had the venison hanging we put in a full day culling out goats. We had a big day which began at 4:30 am and stayed out all day. A fair bit of powder got burnt. I did learn a couple of things on this trip. My little Steve Wheeler custom knife is perfectly adequate for cutting up South Island red deer - no axe needed and once again a Plastic Tikka T3 latte gun with the right load and good glass levels anything at all sorts of ranges From cats at 40 yds to big game at 500 yds. Its the goods ;)

Nice work on the cat!

Excellent work Nathan, great result all round, give that man a latte.........nice report too!!!!

Good on you Nathan.

Great hunt fella. Surely there is no one try hard or wanky enough to take an axe to clean a deer in the field. If there is such a person they would be a complete TOOL

Wow the T3 Latte gun shot your deer in half :wtfsmilie:

Looks like a great weekend all round.

A Mercator is a handy wee knife to deal to a deer also ;)

Where's the cat sausages?

Best eaten fresh.

Nice work those steaks loom bloody nice. As a side question how does everyone cut there hind quarters? Do you seperate all muscle groups and have smaller steaks or just cut across a couple of groups?? I have tried both and the latter is prefered on a fallow type animal for sure

Whoa steak , my favourite vege !

Good weekend! And oh nice hat!:thumbsup:

I wonder if having that steak shot as wallpaper on my monitor means I have a problem ?:)

no thats pretty normal behaviour
