    This place is a bit special to me caught my first pigs here with dogs long gone looking at the ridges & valleys they are still the same its only me that has gotten old, no action until rite on dark i heard a crack 20 meters away then a hind poped up 150 away scope settled just behind its front shoulder ..kapow ! but no R93,s words ringing true as a wee fawn popped up out of the crown fern with its little ears pointed at me besides its mum, bolt open a fallow hind new to the district wanders along looking my way wondering what all the fuss (barking) is about ..smile on my dial time for home...no stages the recon continues ....

    @Sideshow Cheers, hoping to catch up with him with you camera and get a decent photo while he is in velvet and put a canvas on the wall, this pic isn't going to cut it. Not bad off a trail cam though

    you should put a chair under the camera & each week add a little more to it perhaps start off with some , boots (mite pay to put some celery in them) , stubbies , flano by the end of it youl be able to slip in there at 10.34 am the deer will be non the wiser

    Make sure that sx50 is mounted to your scope ...that buck is far to good to pass up !

    finally some heavy rain on the east coast should make things quieter under foot, full those wollows. seen a heap of deer in the last 24hr hinds feeding on all the fresh grass about and stags seem to be mobbed up still where i hunt. Only one good head seen, a young ten pointer with a thumper head so hopefully he finds a good hiding spot for a couple years
