Sequel.
Craig and I went for our over nighter.
I was stiffer and sorer than I anticipated but the Gods were kind and allowed me to shoot 2 easy deer
We were on a big rough station. Dry. And too many deer. We had been asked to "shoot a few".
No stags around - I expect that they are up on the range in the wetter bush country taking viagra and tuning up for the roar.
We saw about 14 deer. I was watching an old hind and took some pics of her and she eventually wandered onto a disused track and lay down with her fawn beside her. I wanted meat for sausages for a friend and figured that if I shot the fawn (yummy) I could get the hind when she dallied which I thought she would and then have to get up a bank and through scattered tawhine.
So I head shot the fawn (yummy) with the 300saum at 70 yards. The hind lunged up the bank and stopped and I knocked her over too. She fell right next to her fawn - the fawns are getting quite big now.
Boned them out, hung them in a tree, and Craig came back in the morning and collected them for meGood lad.
Meanwhile Craig was on his own adventure and he shot a hind (had no children) at 350 yards with his .284. So we went home with 2.5 deer. Nice.
Craig got a vid of his shot:
