Rehab Hunt

After a back injury 6 months ago at work, I finally got to go out on a hunt with a pack on my back. Man it was good to get back in the bush and the dog was happy too.
Seen a few deer and dropped a nice tasty yearling hind. The next day looking for a pig but no luck with that so bombed up goats instead. The back was getting a little soar so pulled the pin on the trip and went home early with a pack full of boned out veni and kid back steaks.
Can't wait to get my back to full strength so I can do some descent trips.

Sig with his yearly hind.

A through and through with a 194gr Lehigh ME subsonic. This is the second deer that I have body shot with this projectile and works a treat in the 300 Blackout. The hind was shot at 40m and only travelled 45m with a really good blood trial to track.

Good for you.
I know how you feel. I spent last weekend in the St James area as my first multi day trip after 6 months off work from a hunting accident in South Westland.
Feels great to be back out there doesn't it.
Im still in the gym 4 times a week ( and working 2 days a week on light duties ) ... but there is nothing like actually being out there for getting fit.
I bet the dog enjoyed it as much as you did !! My GWP was a great motivation to get up and about and start walking again even if it was only to the letter box which is 700m from the house.
Keep it up mate.

yeahhh Scout styles!

Great stuff

actually, good on both you fellas, gettin back into it after injury, most of us who havnt had that happen most liekly never give it a second thought, untill it happens, good one!

Good on ya @tikka :thumbsup:

I was back in the hills for the first time after surgery last weekend also. Not really hunting as such but took the rifle for a walk. Good weather, sleeping under a fly, awesome to be back out there.

Good on ya for getting out there :thumbsup:

Good stuff, Sig is a great looking dog. I'm keen on the Visla's too.
