Thread: Tag team tripple TTT

We made our way along the top ridgeline some distance and popped over the other side do the wind would be in our favour.
We settled on a valley that had 2 ridges in front of us where 2 valleys met and became one kinda like a "y" shape so we had a face reasonably close in front of us say around 600 yards then another face rising up behind it starting at around 8-900 yards before they both joined and become one.
There wasn't much innthe wsy of cover on the close face apart from some very sparce matagouri but with the wind blowing towards us it would be sheltered, the far face had more cover but still plenty of open grassy areas full of good deer tucker.
Me and Ryan sat about 50 meters apart and set about glassing.
Now I don't know about anyone else but when I'm looking for animals, I usually start looking in the worst, hardest steepest and furtherest away spots as Murphys law often dictates that's where they will be.
For whatever reason after a quick scan without my binos looking for anything obvious moving around. I decided to glass the close face first more or less to discount it as there was bugger all cover so it would be easy to quickly glass it then spend some quality time glasding the much bigger face behind it that was now starting to get the morning sun on it.
Literally put my binos up to my eyes and I couldn't believe it, I was looking at 2 fallow spikers bedded up on a dirt flat below the only clump of matagouri on the whole face. A quick range put them at 600ish yards and very much down hill almost at the very bottom of the gut.
I whistled quietly to Ryan to come confirm my sighting but he didn't hear me, not wanting to make anymore noise I crept up to where he was and suggested he might want to come look where I was glassing.
