    Quick Solo fly camp

    Walked into spot x late Friday arvo. It was bloody cold and nothing was seen Friday night. Blew and rained that night, but I was more than comfy under the good old huntec bivvy.

    Had the alarm set early enough to allow for a hot coffee and enough time to get to my morning hot spot and set up ready to glass before first light. Watching a face 450 yards away, when I spot a young stag at only 240 yds in the half light. He looked tasty so decided he'd do.

    The bastard wasn't playing the game with presenting me a shot tho, he wouldn't even turn around for my little moaning roars. Then when he did move he moved in behind some scrub and appeared to be about to feed back into the bush.

    Didn't have time to adjust the camera to Centre him in the frame, managed to get a look at the base of his neck so touched off the shot, to which he poleaxed into the scrub.

    Here's a short video.
