Thread: First public land deer - fallow in the blue mountains

WOW you packed a lot of learning into one hunt.....
a gps to mark spot would have given peice of mind...more reliable than a phone....
look up Alex Gale carry belt.......for fallow sized animal...definately for goats..it is the ducks nuts,will save your back,and if you happen to fall head first into hole,maybe your life.I have carried out 2 goats at same time using it...and two pigs another time....
great to hear you are learning to slow down....a lesson I have to keep relearning over n over again.
HOPEFULLY your hide cooled enough on the side that was on the ground...if not the hair will slip out....happened to my first stag skin,which was a right mongral as was huge and was carried a looooong way.
not sure if you have read my two bucket method for storing meat in fridge...one inside the other...holes in bum of inner bucket...it lets the blood drain into cavity so helps keep meat from going off.
