great stuff.hoping the meat from stag left overnight was still good??? its not something Ive done often either,only once due to obscenely difficult terrain ,but luckily stag fell in snow patch so was still fine following day,the crap terrain hadnt inmprooved any!!!
Tux is getting grey around the muzzle, bit like you 2.:D
Nice going, good shot Brian in that first clip, pretty windy looking.
I wasn't very impressed with either the idea of leaving the meat, or eating it. So I took the meat from the top side that was in the breeze and left the stuff against the ground. It did look and smell ok though. And then I got onto another stag and had to travel quite a distance to get onto the face I saw him on and shagged around up hill and down dale chasing him to no avail. Then when I was an hours walk from the face he had been on I looked back and there he was laying down in the scrub. Got closer and had an awkward shot at him and missed, but still had to check so back I went again. Carrying that damned meat all of the while. I wish I had left it on him in the end. :) And then that evening I got the spiker and had to carry all is meat out (but just for about an hour). I was buggered that night. To cap it off the mattress in the hut has got bed bugs in it and I couldn't sleep. Thank heavens it rained all night so we pulled the pin in the morning for home :) Wife looked at my back and arms and Im covered in bites. They are even on my face and hands. Bloody things. Next time I'm there I will take something to spray the mattresses with. A day later and Im still itchy.Quote:

We had seen them early on and an hour later they were still there. We agreed that we would never get easier or juicer meat because it was just that short haul to the ridge, so thats what we did. Of course, we couldn't stop at just that one for the trip though... :)
It was a bugger that they weren't roaring because thats really why we were there.
Left the hut door open because it was raining and there's no kennel. Guess thats where the bugs came from.
Didn't bite me they don't like the taste of us insensitive bastards but they kept me awake flying into my face.
I'll take a drum over next time for a kennel
the likes of mortien crawling insect sprays work wonders...I sprayed an old forest service hut inside and out around eaves a few years ago.... it not only killed all the bugs n beatles inside the hut...but by next day...after the headache causing smell had gone.... even the sandflies and blowfies kept away,funny as hell when blowfly flew in hut door and did quick U turn and buggered off into the open. the boys had been sleeping inside mozzie nets for years..but not anymore. might be best to spray BEFORE you go home to keep the headache from getting you,them pesky bugs wont be around by next visit.
