holy crap wherd that ant come from as my avatar?
That is one mean arsed son of a bitch of an ant.
To be honest I think I'm too shit to go after deer! I'd like to get something by myself. Not sure if I could manage been sneaky enough to get a deer in the first place just yet, and it'd be a long afternoon getting it back to the wagon. Also I have no garage to hang the thing up in to peel it....
to peel it.... :D
;)
Dougie don't make me come down there and put you over my knee. One thing is for certain and that is if you think you will be shit then you will be so banish that thought from your head right now and don't let it back in. If you had a long walk in front of you then bone the bugger out where it dropped and stick the meat in your daypack. Also you don't need a garage to hang a deer in. If you can't find a useful tree then there have been many skinned on the ground before today (the skin makes a great clean mat for boning on). Once you have your FAL and a rifle that is up to the job then get out and give it a go. By all means smack over a few goats first but give it a go. You don't have to be successful first up. In fact the more sweat equity you put in the bigger the buzz will be.
Shucks Rushy. Maybe I need to get my nose into some books. I was always a very good scout but humans are easier to creep up on that deer with crazy noses and satalite dish ears. I know not much other than don't slam the car door! (Thanks Cam :) )
I emailed a gang at Hunting and Fishing Trophy NZ or something like that to see what they are like cost wise and even if it's availble to do a game butchery type course.
EDIT * Also I remember a favorite Secco always saying "If you look good, you feel good; if you feel good, you are good."
Understand why I am apprehensive about my chances then? :D
Ha ha ha. Dougie, you must know some fellahs from the ranger squadron. If so then get them to teach you the 100 yards per hour discipline.
?
SAS 1 Ranger Squadron. Those guys have amazing skills that would be useful for your stalking. They move so slowly and are are so quiet they can sneak up on a sentry position at night and take the barrel off a GPMG without the average grunt knowing they were there until day break next morning. Saw that happen once on an exercise in Malaya in 74. It was as funny as fuck watching the guys in the hole trying to explain what happened to the barrel of their gun.
