    Another long day in Arthur's pass.

    Two spikers on the deck by 07:30 and a long carry out of both animals whole.
    Both shot at about 210 meters.

    This slip must be popular as Steve shot a Ten pointer (from within 50m of where i shot these 2) on our previous trip about 3 weeks ago...and that one was heavy too!!

    Awesome. Your camera makes this look like it happened in the 80s though

    I hope you have a big freezer!

    Good work Matt
    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

    Check out the video on today's hunt. Little bit rough, but at 24 seconds you see a flash of the legs of the second animal:

    The eighties had crap music. Now the fifties and sixties that is when music great.
