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.

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.

Ballistic tips don't melt (you can see the red tip on the edge of the hole.

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.

Well done, it must feel great to be back amongst it.

You should teach your boy to shoot! Well done.

I've tried. But Dad's can't do magic. :)

My dog's not very energetic today.

Read the title and thought you should be trial walking not straight into a run:thumbsup:
Nice one Bruce good to see you back into it.

Excellent. I would rather not have the parallax adjustment. On a 10x scope its not necessary and just something to have to fiddle with.
Otherwise I can't fault it.

Awesome work,

You recovered quick from that operation to be moving around in those hills. The dog would of enjoyed the hunt with you as well.

Yeah. I was told nothing excessive for 6 weeks. It was 5 weeks, but I was feeling pretty good. I just get tired later in the day but I think that is common after a good dose of anaesthetic. Tilly has been great around home during her holiday but was certainly glad to be back out with me.

Cheers

Looks like hard walking, not the soft stuff I mill around in...
