Thread: Shooting more than hunting...

But still a good evening out and a good stretch of the legs. When numbers are getting up there comes a time when you have to knock some over to keep the cocky happy.

The 300saum and 168 NBT's sure can sock it to them (255 yards).

One bullet shot 3 deer? can you please drop the 300 barrel off with Brian I gotta swap it over for the 7mm. That 300saum is bloody amazing. Bloody well done Bruce.

Where did the one shot for three deer idea come from?? I didn't say that.

One shot each.

Fake news. Happens to the best of them.

Mate I think you have earned the odd easy one or three. Wasn't that long ago you posted a story of covering a good amount of ground for a day hunt with Craig. Enjoy it.

Life could be worse ha. Deer for africa it seems.

Tilly rounded them up and had them all lined up for you on the track this time...gee she is a wonderful critter.
seriously Im sure you did have to work a little bit to manage to drop all three close to the track...plurry awesome effort to do so.makes up for the bottom of crappy gully in pouring rain midnight carries somewhat. we managed to do it ONCE many years back....good on you bud.

@Micky Duck one rolled down onto the track, one I rolled 20 yards down to the track and the other I dragged and rolled about 100 yards.

Took one out whole and cut 2 up. Got home at 11.30pm, and have dealt to them all this morning and sister in law has collected one boned out deer for a bbq for "sailing for the disabled". So its gone to a good cause.

The irony is that I went for the hunt on my way back from the Back Ridge Butcher in Napier with 50 kg of sausages Only one third was for me though, the rest for friends.
So now I have got a load more of sausage meat to go into the deep freeze. An endless cycle.

We call that harvesting.....have been on a few harvests that still turned into hard bloody yakka.
Good effort all the same

Awesome ,well done good to be sharing it round

Well done, you are a generous man,I hope the people who receive the meat enjoy it. In those curcumstances you will be shooting more than hunting.

Awesome

Daylight retrieves. That's not normal for you?

@Rusky Yeah it was great. They came out of the scrub at about 5pm and ran about 100 yards into the paddock. I had an idea where they were coming out of the scrub and jumping the boundary so was watching for them. Saw them from 700 yards and all I had to do was use the contours of the hills to get 250 yards from them. As I poked my head over a handy ridge they saw me but milled around a bit. Luckily I shot the hind first so the 2 younger ones were confused and they copped it too.
