    Back up the hill last night on the spur of the moment, to spend some more quality time tromping around in the spaniards!

    It'd been blowing nor-west all day, but had just turned around to a cold sou-west when I made the call, so I was hoping I might be sheltered from it over the ridge where I was hunting. As luck would have it, as I was halfway up the hill on the bike, the wind dropped right away and mostly stayed gone, other than the occasional puff. The temperature dropped right away too, but I was prepared! Would have been about 2-3º for most of the time I was out shooting. Last 30 minutes of light and then 3 hours of spotlighting.

    Basically perfect conditions for the roos to be out.. as proven by the 44 I managed to shoot.

    Turned from an evening where I wasn't confident I'd see more than a handful into one of the more productive nights I've ever had up there.

    How about catching one tying a bit of cotton to it's leg and reeling it out. Should be a piece of cake to follow the cotton back to the nest. Haven't tried it myself but someone should, and you seem in a good position to do so.
