    Old School

    Decided it was time to teach the boy some old school tricks. None of this quartering, deboning, and lightening the load stuff.
    Time to get real and feel the pain me thinks

    Cool. At least it's not the size of a small windowless building. Shot a small fallow years ago. Probably not much heavier than middle size dog gutted. Carried it accross my shoulders. Front legs one side, back legs the other.

    That’s the way to do it.
    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

    Probably 30 - 35kgs, somewhere around there. Good experience though and not to heavy for those young legs

    Good tuition, a good Vixen and a yearn to listen and learn...... I'd call that a perfect start

    Yea I know what you're talkin about Mick. I dont carry many whole animals out these days - knees walkin downhill just dont like it but if he wants to then all good by me. Sad thing is his knees will be fucked by the time he's an old man as well; but they no listen

    Good job, good to see your grandson enjoying hunting. I've been hunting deer for 22yrs and I can honestly say I have only ever carried two deer in that time like that. I vowed I would never back pack another deer, never have.
