    So here's another zoomed out pic taken from where the first pic was taken.
    Any clues on what's going on?

    Person on this photo is directing person on to the deer?
    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 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    OK. So there is a dead deer to the left of the tree (his head is obscured by the tree), bottom right of the right hand clearing.
    It was late in the roar. I saw him from about 400 yards and we closed down to about 300 or so (where the pics were taken). He was standing, and at the neck shot he dropped into some pig rooting which made him quite hard to see.
    In the Haurangis.

    Awesome spot, it has to be my all time fav and had many heavy loads out of there and very late nights!!!. Have to say and i think it was Craig that told me but taking back steaks off back to front is a lot easier than front to back.

    If you are right handed do the left side (looking from the rear) from the hip to the front, and the other side from the shoulder to the hip. Like in the vid.

    Yeah that what I used to do, now both back to front, each to their own I guess
