    A few pics

    Another camera download got me thinking some of you might like to see a few pics. Unfortunately, I haven’t had much of a roar this year due to an untimely operation, but I’ve still managed to get out for the odd trip. So, here we go in no particular order:

    Pre roar scouting bumped into a lot of animals. This group of chamois appeared out of a small gut just below me one evening while glassing some deer.
    Chamois, they always seem to be looking downhill for expected trouble. The demise of many I’m sure.

    It’s amazing just how close you can get to them when your above them. This young buck busted me from around 7-8m. The result was a stalemate for 2-3min before he finally trotted off.

    An unlucky Bull. Unlucky as I never would have known he was there bedded down if Kevin hadn’t of given me the heads up.

    Bad photo, but not too bad of a Bull. I need a spotting scope.

    Surprisingly it did. A few rocks in the bottom to keep it off the base and 1cm of water.

    The result, a steamed pie!

    Nice pics mate. You still in CHCH? South Island surely beats up north I reckon. Except for no sika just down the road.

    Just a Panasonic FZ62

    I’m not much of a photographer. I just put it on auto and hope to get the odd good photo!
