    This weeks outing

    We have been waiting for the weather to come right for a hunt up the tops for a few weeks and Sunday looked like the day for it.
    It was 3am when dad picked me up to make it up there before daylight. We got up there just as the clag was clearing .
    It was gona be a mint day .

    We sat and glassed as the sun started to warm our backs I saw a red hind heading back to the cover of the bush she was moving to fast to make a move . Abit later on we saw a hind and a yearling having some family fun time in the sun they were at 1100 yard and looked to be settled for now so we moved in . A quick 700 yard jog had us at 400 yards we got set up for the shot and took one each as the freezer need a bit of a top up .Name:  image.jpg

    great write up, that Sika stag is a beauty, the taxidermist did an awesome job.
    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    Colour me impressed.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
