    First turn right, off Snee Rd

    My son CraigC and I spent last night on some nice public land. Its pretty popular so gets a bit of pressure. We left Wellington at about 2pm yesterday, and got back this afternoon.

    Last night was a write off because of the wind. This morning was a bit better. We hunted a bit lower this morning and I was lucky enough to get a spiker at 425 yards when it popped out onto a little clearing.

    The pics can explain it...

    Camp for the night;


    This morning.



    The clearing I shot the deer on is the right one of the 2 little ones just below craig's shoulder. We are just heading off to retrieve it.

    Nice work Craig


    That first right turn off Snee can be very productive all right.

    Cheers

    No use wearing bloody camo gear if your gonna let those knobby knees flap around in the breeze.

    And you could try smiling when you get your picture taken, it's not a mug shot for Police Ten Seven ................. At least Mrs D looks happy.

    No use blaming the gear ......... I'm sure you can smile for more than 10 seconds at a time, ..... especially since you don't have any kids tagging along for the day .

    I think "Snee Road" is a euphemism for wild goose chase. That said, I love that particular "Snee Road". Many a happy day spent there.

    Great. The good hunters still pull a lot of animals out of there. Not that I'm one of them. Just lucky.

    Yes you certainly have to know how to hunt it, getting there is the easy part
