Thread: Izzies Clement Mill 8 pt Sika

Just got out of Clements Mill aka Queen Street after a quick overnighter on Friday arvo/night- Saturday.

Camped at the truck on one of the road side campo sites and watched and listened to dozens of trucks go past us all night.

Did a quick recce of a spot I've been wanting to try for a while on Friday arvo and decided it would be the go for the Saturday Morning hunt. We were up the arse of a deer on the arvo recce but couldn't close the gap.

Saturday morning and off we went - got onto some good winding early on and Izzie ranged a little to far in front of me where she locked up and stood looking at a crown fern ridge above me. My hunting mate let out a fawn call and a sika stag literally charged at Izzie who turned tail and bailed back to me. I shot the stag at about 8m. It was in close and exciting stuff and all happened very quickly. And was on the deck by 730am.

The joke between me and my mate about Izzie is that she is now a "Finder and Bailer"

My best public land sika and not bad for an "old dog" - shes now 9 years old.

Great yarn, and nice stag. Well done

Great stuff

thats brilliant

Good stuff. Sounds more like Izzie is the one that got bailed though.

Great stuff mate and Finder bailers are the best

Awesome result, we'll done guys

Great stuff
I think maybe she is a finder / leader-back-to-you-for-you-to-shoot Type

I think I put some guys astray, when I said Izzie bailed. She ran like a scaredy cat back to me with the stag chasing her

Yeh we know mate. Good result.

you would run like hell too if you thought the stag was after you with carnal intentions!!!!! poor Izzie was coming to you for protection........and rightly so.
great to hear you two are still out there going at it,your earlier antics spured me into getting Meg......she hasnt forgiven me for leaving her home this morning yet....

Great work. I was in there as well. What do you drive? Saw a few dogs along the road Friday. Plenty of territory calling to

I saw a vehicle heading north on SH 1b this afternoon with a number plate that said “I’d rather be sika hunting” (or maybe “I’d rather be hunting sika”). I think I can guess where they had been for the weekend.
