    Awesome work @Tahr. That's a big effort put in for your fellow man.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    .300 SAUM, all comfortably under 200 yards, a fragmenting bullet design.

    That’s what I would call using physics to significantly reduce the need to go look for your deer.

    Yes. They make massive entry wounds at those ranges.

    Nice work, mate.
    Are you using thermal or a decent scope?

    I was up there last night and managed a nice fallow.

    Am pleased that you got one. I saw some where you go but didn't shoot any of them. I got these ones elsewhere and there were far too many. I use binos and a good 'scope. You can see the Tract 'scope in the pic with the 2 deer and HQ's. I do have a hand held thermal for the wallaby - Ive taken it to where you are talking about for a gander and you would be amazed what you see walking about after dark.
    There are a few around at the moment.

    Yeah, I love it. Labour of love. I particularly like it when it when its calm, fine and frosty. And it was. Great to be alive.

    I walked 9 km.
