    A Trial Run

    I tried out my post op body overnight. Its been 5 weeks and over the last 10 days I've been slowly extending myself with my walking.

    I got a couple of animals and had one hard carry. Apart from cramp tonight I seem to still be in one piece.
    Brian got a couple of deer too. So we did pretty well. We hunt separately and Brian doesn't take pics so I have none of his.

    I got some good vid of a mob of pigs which I will edit some time.

    Here's some pics:

    A pig I managed to knock over.

    Name: P1000523.jpg Views: 479 Size: 1.06 MB

    I shot a hind up on this face. Quite a grunt over there and then back into the creek and big climb out. Took a few hours.

    Yeah, yeah. I know its a hind. Look at the size of her. Had watched her for a long time. No fawn-dry.
    476 yds with the 7-08 & 120 grn BT.

    I chose the fattest boar. Didn't want to leave the little guys without a Mum. The one I shot was the furtherest away at the end of the vid. 150 yds.
