30 years after the old man began taking me with him in the bush on some early hunts, I managed to repay the favour in a big way. We've been out for a hunt together before to no avail but on this particular day I put us onto a deer and got him within striking distance.
Just a special moment to see the old man happy and soaking it in.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...85c3394045.jpg
Beautiful morning today

That is global warming for you.Quote:

Interesting, Ive been reading up on ageing meat. Most butchers and professionals believe reducing the animals core temperature post-shot to 10 degrees or less in the first 6 hours is not good for the bacteria involved in the breakdown process.Quote:

Sooner have it sitting in colder air than warm air regardless.Quote:

The timing of these sightings coincides with the southward migration of adult dusky woodswallows across Bass Strait to Tasmania.
Thats cool, never even knew it existedQuote:

So purchased a phone scope adaptor off @WildBrad recently. It was a Swaro product for Swaro spotting scopes, called a VPA.
Unfortunately it was for the more modern Swarovski spotting scopes. Mine is 25 years old
Fortunately the VPA is a larger diameter than the ocular lens on my AT 80 HD, so I can machine up nylon sleeve to make it work.
Unfortunately my lathe is still sitting under multiple tarps till the workshop is built.
Fortunately I have a million round rubber things stored in several 20 foot containers around the farm
Unfortunately I can't find them, cause the containers also contain several shit tones of other highly useful crap, burrying the rubber thingies I was looking for.
Fortunately, quite by chance I spied some spare 48mm KYB fork seals for the dirt bike back at home in the hobby room...that fitted perfectly:thumbsup:

The red ring around the apple tree is a pheromone ring to ward off coddling moths from the apple trees. About the size of a docking ring. Trees are 220m from the house
