Garden Gully buck

Been pretty busy with work so happy to have a couple of days to chase fallow in the Blue mountains.

Monday pretty windy and despite covering a good amount of ground only spotte d 1 doe and just glimpsed a black flash in a huge pil e of crap.

Day 2 and weather much better if a bit warm for this time of year. Gentle breeze which me and the dog stalked into, again covering a decent amount of ground. We were headed to an area we knew held bucks and just on 12 we stalked onto a nice open ridge. Dog indicating strongly so just a matter of stalking slowly and trying to spot the deer. The whole deal made much easie r as the buck trotted up to 15m away and as I needed the meat deer down and Max got to play scruff with a buck

Couple of hours with a decent load on and ready for a beer and dog enjoyed a wee swim to cool off

Good stuff Dean and Maxi.

Was wondering how you were getting on this year. Thanks for posting. See anything better shot this year?

Actually not many rumours this year of any big bucks shot, might know a bit more after measuring night at Deerstalkers and then again maybe not. Had a chat with Ray and he had not heard of anything decent coming out so far.

Anzac weekend was hard with lots of wind and not much shot.

Ron tipped over a nice 18 pt buck around 185sh the week before.

Still possible to get a decent buck, I will try and get out again in a couple of weeks

Cheers

Nice. Where did your dog come from Dino?

Hi Tahr

Breeder Matthew Davison. I can't remember where he was based, Canterbury somewhere, Stug will maybe remember as I got her from him when she was 18 months old.

Cheers

He is/was Hororata based. Her grandmother or Great grandmother is my old dog tess.
