    Second chance

    Early April saw myself and son out hunting for some venison, Managed to get him onto a hind, A well placed shot and she dropped on the spot, the shot spooked a stag we got a glimpse him of him as he exited over the ridge. On the way out we found his wallow(mental note taken for later)
    Fast forward two weeks i had a free afternoon so decided to see if i could locate him.
    A plan was hatched, park the truck, stalk my way over the ridge to where his wallow is and go from there,
    200 meters from the truck he was spotted, stalked my way with in 50 meters all the while he was quartering away. he turned, the shot rang out, he dropped on the spot.

    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
