I've shot a few deer over Bea now but this is the first one that she definitely found first.
It was walking towards us. Probably less than 20 metres when I shot it. She was good. Kept steady even after the shot.
Good Girl.
Nui and I with our first tahr. At 3 years old she's turning into a jack of all, master of none.
In the 18 months I've had her she's developed from a dog that would return to base at the sound of a suppressed .22, to now standing dead still with eyes on the prize and tail wagging despite the 308 going off. Happy in her work.
Nui and her friend Jock gave a mob of pigs a hurry up today and managed to grab themselves their first ever pig (weighing in at 2.5 pounds)
Well done Nui.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone

Jagers first tracking of a wounded deer went about 100 yards through bush and a creek both very happy

Bryn's first fallow, shot at 278m.....I let him "find" it.....as he went past it he gave it a cursory glance and carried on! lol I got him to get on it and made a right old fuss of him, still got a ways to go but at 8 months old he's still a pup...good first outing and whilst he was all over the place, when it came to stalking in and taking the shot he calmed all the way down.....he's going to excel I think
expect nothing, appreciate everything - and there's ALWAYS something to appreciate
Big labour day morning walk so I can focus on important stuff.
