Another bush hunt.

Got out for a quick bush hunt Saturday evening in the southern Ruahines. Left the truck at 5pm dropped down a gully up the other side took 15min going quick. Started seeeing fresh sign slowed right down then stalked for about 80m. Saw a bit of movement, a hind feeding vitals obscured then a dopey spiker appeared feeding away from me, finally lifted its head so copped it in the back of the neck. All done in 20min, home in time to put my 3 year old to bed! Love the easy ones!Attachment 236478

Sounds like you've done the hard yards to get to know your area How long do you drive to get to where you park your vehicle?

Yeah put quite a bit of time in sussing areas, this spot only takes about 25 min from home

Awesome:cool:

Good stuff!

So good having such close access, and having done the hard yards prior!

Good on ya!!

Good man, filled the freezer.

beautiful looking bit of bush... enjoy the venison.
