Thread: Not a hunting dog as such

I recently went for a day walk in an area I haven't checked out before in Canterbury. Spotted this fella feeding on the edge of the creek at 1200+ masl in mid morning. He was a bloody big guy and unfortunately I wasn't able to position him for a decent photo. The pup was pretty stoked to have her first deer. She was nice and calm throughout the entire hunt. She cruised along nicely in front of me and kept coming back to check in on me when we were climbing the hills and I was blowing hard. Turned what I intended to be a gentle day walk into a 12 hour slog which had me feeling sorry for myself for a few days following.

I enjoy taking a dog on the hills good having a mate. It looks green on the hills have you been getting a bit off rain? coming down that way in couple weeks and thought it might be a complete draught

I've never been one to enjoy hunting on my own very much but its a whole different ball game now that I've got her to keep me company. First time I'd been in that area and I was surprised how green some of the land was. Saying that though, you don't have to go far from there and there is some extremely scorched land.
