Well done buddy! As many of the VERY experiment hunters have said before it is a great write up and illustration too. Keep the good work, with more venison in the freezer/table the "Boss" will give you more and more "Brownies" points.
A "little" mess up now and then just make the hunt even more special, imagine you telling the story such as :
"I walk the nice open track and went through the deer fence gate that take me to my already warm by the fire "someone" left for me, I had a great meal there and of to my nice cosy bed i went. I wake up at 5am and after restock the fire place and have a hot brew of i went for my stroll, walk for 15 minutes to a nice "nob" where i spot my 10 point stag completely unaware i was there, i shot it on a heart bit and with easy i broke it down, with a quick and easy walk down to the hut i had a good meal and within 2 hours down the nice track i was back in my truck. What a hunt!"
Nah, it is "never" just like that, we must have some excitement and mishaps to tell about!
Keep the great work!

Thanks for the feedback, it's certainly a trip I'm not likely to forget!
I just realised I wanted to give a shout out to @Sarvo about his talan boots, and missed it in the write up.
I bought the winter pair, and was so impressed I am buying a summer pair for the warmer months.
I have taken these boots up through scree and tussock, right up a river, crossing 7-8 times staying dry (until I crossed a section up to my thighs), and most recently on this trip up through bush, and back down with a very heavy pack on. Not once did I slip. They have excellent grip and feel, especially stepping on river stones. I haven't had any blisters from them, even coming back down the river, boots full of water. If you are looking for a new pair of boots, give these a crack, for the price you can't really lose! My 2¢ 😂

Awesome story! You'll never forget that hunt

Awesome story man! Sounds like a great trip and and an experience you won't soon forget. I am a pretty novice hunter and still to get my first deer, but one day i should have a story to share also!

Great writeup
I found that if you can drag the gutbag a good 4-5 metres min downwind then the bulk of the flies go for that rather than your meat skeleton
The other trick I do is to stick a couple of Bundaberg Ginger Ales on ice in the truck in a chillybin as something to look forward to on the way out - your beverage of choice may vary
Happy hunting
