Perfect nite for a walk so will see if I can find something for it to get angry at.

I think I am a bit rusty.

After a bit of a rush racing a few km up a local river and right on last light I seen 2 hinds and a yearling at the top of a big clearing around 300 yards from where I entered it.
Made what I thought was a perfect stalk to take the yearling and before I got close enough a series of barks back from where I started, spooked them.
To top it off, a bit dejected I cut thru the middle of the clearing to head further up river to another spot before light was gone and another yearling scared the shit out of me when I almost stood on it in the bull rushes and gorse. I got a bead on it for a second but had a bit of a mare with using a gay turn bolt, the set trigger and not having a round chambered.

Other than that it was a good evening
I reckon the animals just starting to use the clearings due to having a bit of mild weather lately, as there was a total lack of sign where there is usually plenty.

Classic You might have to get down to the range for a bit of action shooting but leave the pistol at home...aye

True. But I need just as much practice with the pistol to be fair.

NI shoot next weekend and I haven't done anything.

Weathers fine for a fews days on your side of the hill, good chance. Farken drizzly shit here, just when i wanna warm the barrel up.

Bit of an easterly here so not surprising.
Awesome mild day otherwise.

Might bomb up some 40's and get off my lazy ass and do some practice. I certainly need it.

Sounds like an action packed stalk on the deer, hope your next encounter bloods the little KHornet.

My son shot a few rabbits and hares with it last nite.

Going back to look for those deer tonite before the rain comes in.

Didn't know I had to go right now?
It's only lunchtime. And it only take 20 mins max from my door to where I park the wagon.

I will admit I am struggling to get used to it.
Haven't turned a bolt apart from the odd time shooting someone else's rifle for 20yrs.

Set trigger is a pain at the moment as well.
I have a plan tho......

You can adjust the front trigger to be dedicated and remove the rear, from memory.
For a few years my only rifle was a Steyr Mannlicher in poo seventy , twin triggers & rotary mag. Once I took 5 quick shots at a running chamois buck, when the smoke cleared, my mate said I had set the trigger each time. I had know idea I'd done it, just subconscious I guess from use. Chamois had 3 holes in it too
