Thread: It's that time again... Sambar Rut

The red faces are from the cold and retrieval, @Mooseman didn't tell the full story. I couldn't find the animal from my second shot, with darkness closing in I scoured the area with no joy then returned to the first kill and gutted it. Darkness had closed in by this time so I left my kill to pick up @Mooseman so he could help drag it through the cutover slash and 1 metre high fireweed to the road. We keep in contact with handheld radios, so when I called up I was informed that he was still in the proses of dragging one off the hill and needed a hand. Hence I gapped it to help finish the recovery of a nice fat Samba hind, when we returned to my kill @Mooseman convinced me to have another look for my lost animal which I thought was fruitless and had planned to check the following morning with my trusty hound. I'm glad I have a rubber arm, with nose to ground, boots n arms flailing through slash and scrub Moosemandog found my second kill. Talk about hot, cold, cold hot, sweating dragging and sweating again. Saved me going out the next day. Thanks again @Mooseman.
