Thread: Weekend Adventures

Hi Team just thought I would have a wee report over the last 3 weekends ,once again I have been a very lucky man.
So 3 weeks ago me & my buddy mac where off in search of some veni all morning hunts so up at 3.30 !! we got to the farmers gate & young stag bolted across the track into some pines so we carried way on up the hill until we reached the native & parked up we hadn't walked to far until we spotted a stag on the move around 400 Meters away but he was in a hurry so no time for a shot we carried on up the hill further & spotted 2 more stags quietly feeding below a high point we got to within 230 of them watching them browsing & mooching along decided to take the lesser beast ,without elaborating to much I figured out my mate was indeed human & a few shots latter the stag hit the deck .

Last week I made some drunken plans with my cuz & seen as how it involved kids & xmas trees & yabs thought we had best sort it so we met at my place at 8 the next morning few coffees latter we where on our way to a place I hadn't fished in years it was good fun watching the kids go from being a little standoffish to into it , pluss iv developed my technique when it comes to kids catching them .


The kids quickly learned to let the girls go


And this weekend which happens to be my B day , looking at my profile I must have lied some reason I automatically knock a year or 2 off my age...but whos counting anyway another early start meeting mr mac at 4.15 sharp we where off into the hills hitting the farm track we hadn't gone to far & a deer jumps across the headlights ( im convinced its always the same one ) still entertaining though watching mac in a kafuffle , after winding our way to the top I got out & checked the wind & planned where we would go into an area I hadn't been to since the roar ,wind at our backs for the first couple of k,s before heading north along the main range I spotted a hind in the open country they never like to hang about up there always in a hurry moving through she soon disappeared over the top , we carried on looking into the scrub line a few hundred meters across the gully another hind was spotted & seen as how it was my shot I was reluctant to take it on account she mite have a fawn in the scrub so after a while we turned into the wind & quitley stalked through semi scrub land 20 mins latter mac pipes up look down there I can see a deer turned out to be 2 hinds , mulling the situation over I looked directly across from us to spot what in initially thought to be a fawn bedded down but quickly figered out it was exactly the animal we where after a yearling hind 178 away so after some fancy pants shooting the day before on some paper I decided to line up on its neck & show mac how its done , yea it never works aye so luckly the deer only ran 30 meters before stoping for a look back aiming at a bigger bit , wallop flop ...that's better

Good Times

Can’t believe Mac flagged the 243 for the 6.5
Good to see you guys getting out and about, hot enough for you, down there ?

kinda of made sense he likes the 6.5 pluss he already had all the loading gear ,loads & this one like his ruger is about as accurate as you can get 0 recoil though the entry holes look as though the deer has been stabbed with a sharp pencil lol..i like a bit more thump ,weather has been great bloody hot but we have had 2 really good rains now so green grass ,plenty of fat lambs & deer around the district

Boss, you are an awesome friend, lol!!! I can’t understand how you can keep up with me, more LOL! You have been an amazing friend and as you wrote, FUN is all we have, how many stories go tell, how much laugh we have had together, I still laughing now thinking about this post.

Thank you heaps for the great time and the “Veni” for the “seasons”.

HAPPY BDAY “OLD MAN”!!! All the best Phill!

Mac
