    So, here we go again! Just another one of those days.
    Finished work around 4pm and was already with my mind in the hills, i text my partner to let she know i was "off", i could not stay another day inside home looking to the hills without a "bit of it". I normally don't take my dog with me but i decide she deserve a great walk too.
    I went to my "X" spot where i have a stunning view from the place where i live, walk slowly with few stops in the way to enjoy the walk. After 40 minutes i was in the "base" of the hunting grounds and i start glass the face with no much faith i would see anything. Boom! Surprise, a fair bit up or another 1/2 way from what i already walk up i spot 4 animals feeding, i carry on glassing and found another two animals further up and i decide i would get into it.
    With the wind in my favour and determined to shoot something i walk as fast i could with the "restrictions" of my "bugged" knee. Few minutes up and there i was, glassing again the 2 hinds upwards, my dog by then was thirst and tired, she was looking for a cool and quiet spot to rest what sometimes was annoying as she show herself out the hide. After 20 minutes more or less i decide to pass or should i say, decide to look for my other options and i start to walk towards where i saw the other animals.
    Boom! again, i spot a deer. I start to stalk towards the animal looking for a spot where i could sit and wait, but, couple animals probably heard me and the dog and decide to check it out, bad luck. I could not believe it, I aim and after couple steps, one forward and one down(tumbling) falling almost in the spot!
    Well, after a hour find a nice place to start dressing it did what i could and another 1.5 hour to come down the hill that take me only 1 hour to go up.
    Nice evening/night out, great result!
    That is it for now everyone, hope "some" of you also have had a great day, keep the good work, be there, do it! Enjoy!

    Just a little statement, "I love my 7mm Rem Mag"
