Wife carried the meat.

Great report, and that's my favourite line. You sound like the type that gladly suffers for his family's enjoyment.

Good honest yarn

That's gold

Nice, it read like a 'trip' report as well

Something to aspire to—-
Now I’ll just have to borrow someone’s wife to carry the meat.
Mines not keen.
Cheers MG

So the Mrs got to carry the meat while you carried the matagauri. LOL.
Cracked up reading the post.

Bullet points. Very appropriate on a hunting forum I guess.
Sounds like a bit of type 2 fun.

Great stuff, my wife doesn't even go with me

Had a few giggles reading that. Sounds like fun......kinda??

Any of the hunting magazines going to pay you for that?
I'd consider buying a magazine with trip reports like that in it
