Working my way up a ridge with the dog in front and my daughter alongside in the late afternoon heat earlier last week. It had been an awesome day together, stoppingby the stream for lunch and a breather. Kai indicated ahead off the trail into the thick. Tired I stepped forward a couple of paces and made out a long neck, perhaps attached to a head, only five paces away, beside a tree. Scanning up, yes a deer quartering on, staring directly at me. Lever action up, thumb down, red dot on the chessstttt.... gone... bang. My daughter never saw it. The rifle report surprising her. Too quick for me.
Love the Kaimai. Do the boot work, find the more huntable areas, stand dead still more often and enjoy the learning process. They are where they are.
