She was a good humour trip with plenty of laughs an we all had a wee gid at each other but think us young(er) 2 got the most of it, with a few more ks put under the boots

Me an angry bob where set on some up the head of the vally that we had spyed couple of bigger body bulls that where worth a closer look
so we got set in the morning an headed off with another stroll up the river, baldbob set for the day hunting an having breakfast

an deciding early we where going to be lasy an bugger going round the river so through the fucker we went was a tad fresh an 4 crossings latter we had wet feet but thats no major deal, I found some on the way to the location an decided bugger is some meat start of the day set up an took a juvi bull but it soaked up 2 162 from the serious tahr wepon an one from the 338 witch after some fighting it hit the dirt to stay up the hill at 764m shot an was un reachable.

Found our mob again an headed up the other side to get better look after a stiff likke stroll up the hill for couple of hours he where having lunch as i was about to eat my arm, an couldnt see mr tahr then fuck me we had never seen them an they where 413m away good body on the bull but not horns but mr bob decided he would loose his tahr verginty on him, we set up an boom mr bull sucked hard on a 300gr 338 pill an was to busy going "fire truckkkkk!!!!!!!!" "fire truckkkkk!!!!!!!!" "fire truckkkkk!!!!!!!!" "fire truckkkkk!!!!!!!!" "fire truckkkkk!!!!!!!!" "fire truckkkkk!!!!!!!!" LLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! !!!!!!!!! as it fall of a good bluff me time the serious tahr wepon was a laser an had 4 down before he knew what had happened he got another we packed up an headed down the hill into the crrek where they had all ended up from the other side to where.

Took some photos of adam an his bull an one of my ass witch im sure will end up here if adam has his was, he was chopping his bull up while i peeled some meat of my animals an we had it hight tail it as we had 3ish hours down an back to the hut still to do an loonnnnggggg walk, an was good to get back at the hut an the weight off

Next day i decided to leave the seriour tahr wepon at the hut to save the tahr population an opted for a much heavier cannon to got an be the wandering boyan carry bitch to help them get some tahrs, after thinking i was going to have a stroll up the river then up the creek to the lake with the old(er) boys i was mistaked as the cunts where off an away up the river an set into it up the creek also pushing along well an we all made good time up there, they where few an far between but found some up the hill an the lapua improved got the strech, 954yds (greg??? i cant remender) an mr bull go hit an hit hard, then let the wee adventure for him begin as he fall an got smashed on his was down, the been the younger one i thought id be good chap an go fetch the bugger.........well give it a boot to get the rest of the way............................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ................................
