Thread: SUN SET HUNT

Iv been saying all week,one more hunt befor xmas.My wife has been hearing this all month.The weather looked good yesterday,so late afternoon,i decided im off to annoy a deer.Hours later i parked the truck up and went for my little walk,not much light left at 9.15pm.The area had a lot of rain,some of the deer tucker was a metre high.I stopped at watched a clearing which was about 80yds long beside a stream.A little breeze in my face,perfect.As i was looking for head poping ears over the feed area.I heard some stones rattle,thump about 10 yds to my left.Two yearlings were looking at me,one was broad side.I could them from ground up standing in a shingle patch.Luckly i had my rifle in both hands,My right hand slowly loaded the 308 trying not to rattle clang the bolt.They still standing there thinking wtf are you doing in our super market.I thort this is all on looking down the barrel,i didnt use the scope,no time.Just pointed and shoot.10 yds away i couldnt miss,and i didnt.Well the other yearling ran about 20yds into the high feed,he stopped for about 5 seconds and thort,bugger this im out of here.
I cut the yearling up,i know one thing,carrying all 4 legs and back steaks of a yearling in yr old pack a bloody site easier than a fat red stag hq.Truck was only about 400yds away so the walk was easy.I was going to stay the night but i drove home under the moon light,buitifull.Roll on xmas.

Well done, I like those kind of hunts myself.

perfect...and you can tell the good lady it was all part of the plan.

Trouble was MD it was my third hunt for December and no results till now.They dont like you filling the truck up every week with no results.To bad.lols

and that my friends is why its called hunting and not harvesting.....

Do the long necks eat that Russell Lupin? being a legume 'n'all

Fantastic result, and classic close shooting! Superb Xmas veni...

They still standing there thinking wtf are you doing in our super market

haha this part made me chuckle.

Good result for a late evening wander, meat should be good for the BBQ

Well done, sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to hunting.
As the saying goes when your hot your hot when your not your not.
Usually get the easy ones when the freezer is full.

Enjoy

Well done.
Good reward for the effort.

Oh come on, it's just like supermarket shopping sometimes what you want isn't on the shelf.😆

Shoot on iron sight, good. I am planning to buy a K98, even cost more than a sako85. But there do `t have good priced 8mm rounds.

Pretty efficient hunt mate!
