Thread: 2 for 1

An enjoyable read.

I did a 2-for-1 last time out on the farm. I was despatched by the farmer to go and hunt some fallow for use as sweeteners in some grazing scheme he was cooking up. “Three or four, all does, you know how”, which means all headshot. Mandatory. So I took my laser beam Tikka SuperVarmint which was zero-ed for the 64gr Nosler Bonded Solid Base.

It was a good fun, very challenging as the fallow are as skittish as hell. The last doe I shot was stood in the bottom of a gully looking up towards me, hiding in manuka. It’d just shot two over the other side of the gully and she was wondering what to do next. I had a perfect shot, downhill quite steeply, and cleaned her up. She was the last animal I got to for recovery, and I was amazed to find a fat, brown, dead yearling beside her, shot clean through the top of the head. Simply couldn’t see it due to the gradient and the light, he would have been standing behind his mum. The lads back at the shed didn’t believe me, the only evidence I had was four empty cases in my pocket, for five deer!

I was very glad for the Noslers BSBs in that moment.
