Thread: Walk with the wifey

My good lady said she wanted to go for a walk up local area...flattish walk,not too hard but fair old distance and the temperatures were waaay down into winter wooly material.
we got there and back without issues ,dogs got some exercise as did thier overweight human companions
all animals seen were OFF LIMITS being on private land,but was nice to see them all the same.

that fella was all of 150ish yards away...happy as pig in poop with his angus mates

these fallow have been dubbed "the dirty dozen" there has been the same animals (I think) in same location all year..at one point early this morning there was over 20 in same place

now I can tell you,every bone in my body was saying shoot one the rifle was screaming "let me at em,Ill splat em" but my head said NO just not worth it in these modern times...the photo of fallow was close to a km away,these porkers,all of about 40lb each were no more than 40 yards away.

wrong side of the fence

I can count 20 deer in the 2nd to last photo.....not entirely sure if two are reds or not...there are reds with the fallow in that spot..and NO its not a deer fence,sheep fence only totally free range,not silly much warmer and much better feed and off limits so safer

They know where they are safe.

Or they know who they are safe from ?

google earth tells me fallow were 1640meters away when I took photo...that wee cannon isnt half bad camera.

Do rhe pigs showing you their arses have a hidden meaning

nothing is hidden..the little fatties were rooting around feeding up large..... and as my Ozzy mate would say..rooting sheep is OK rooting pigs is a no go,the little shits will squeal on you !!!!

Time for a bow MD, 40 yards, nice and quiet ��

yeah nah..I like quick clean kills..tried the bow thing,just not for me...now I hear tell 4grns of trail boss behind a 55grn pill in .223 case gives about 1075fps........ but seriously animals like this are safe from me these days..as tempting as it may be, the risks are too high ,you can end up loosing everything and its just not worth it.

Agreed, it's way too risky and the possible repercussions aren't worth the hassle. Not to mention us evil gun owners seem to receive enough bad press and poaching is highly frowned apon.
