Thread: Spooking Deer

The fallow up near wangavegas are very edgey... well the girls are. We wandered up on 3 stags mooching around. We didn't want to shoot them, it was a meat hunt so I was really after women and children. But we didn't want to spook them as they might spook others.

In the end we had no choice as we they were between us and where we wanted to be. So we stood out in the open maybe 100m away and started walking, they just stood there and looked at us until we were maybe 40m away before they decided to head off. Even then they just ran down to the bushline 200-300m away, and started play fighting.
