Went for a well executed morning hunt today in a doc block ive never been too before, A few hours planning over google earth and we were into it. Getting in on the action early! We sidled an ugly face of native to a desired shooting position and quickly nailed this nice hind. Unfortunately she was pregnant my bad team. 478 yards with the .260 rem. Carried her out of the ugly native valley whole
Good shooting! Must go and get my first spring deer... 🦌
Thanks mate big fan of you and your dads work. Cheers
Well done, bro. That's a really low drag haircut you're rockin' at the moment.Quote:

Anyone that hauls arse around that country deserves their success.
For eating I reckon this is the best time of the year to shoot hinds and does. They are usually in their best condition and don't have a fawn or big foetus dragging off them. I never worry about shooting the odd one up to towards the end of this month.
Cheers mate! I also followed your advice after reading your comments on field dressing and left the brisket intact. Made it much more comfortable thanks again mate.Quote:

Well done, you have come a long way in a short time and you are getting great success. Keep up the good work, I wish I had got into it earlier :thumbs:
Nice going, I wouldn't worry to much about taking a hind now, it happens. I seen a hind and two yearlings yesterday and shot the yearlings not the hind, but I had a choice which made it easier. Enjoy the meat you earned it in that country
On ya bro nice!
Cheers bro, bring on the spring meat hunts to comeQuote:

With the attitude and gratitude you've shown on here, Im sure those mentors are more than happy to help you out:)Quote:

Thats some work you been putting in on the hills.
great stuff,you have come a long way in a short time and are now into it.....dont worry about the hind being preggers...far better to shoot her now than when fawn is at foot,summer months are the hard time for me...fawns at foot and stags in velvet....mind you though fawns are tasty. enjoy your vennison.
Thanks alot mate!Quote:

As the old boys say at work. P pads are a life saver. bit of closed cell foam taped together works well and is light and warm
that looks like some steep country. hope the rest of your year is just as successful. onya mate.
Well done. Don't worry about shooting a pregnant hind. Better to shoot them carrying rather than feeding. Hinds in the wild are predominantly doing one of the two (outside of weaning) unless they are dry.To be frank everyone should be shooting more hinds and less stags. Not sure where you hunt to find fat deer Tahr, but most deer I shoot at this time of year in the bush are skinny. Often really skinny. I find end of winter is the toughest time to find fat deer unless they have been on good grass or a crop. Keep up the good work young fella.
Well done, enjoy the Venny. Great time to be out there, should get my A into G myself.:thumbsup:
That will keep you fit. Don’t apologise for
Scoring a feed 👍
Good shooting. Pretty gnarly country, awesome effort getting her out whole.
Great work!
