Thread: My first Roar hunt a "roaring success" sort of.....

Now of course the problem with shooting an animal at 450 yards across a valley is it's a bloody long way to go and retrieve it, luckily we could drive around the ridge and drop in on the face from the other side, when we got there it was going on 430pm and we knew we had a long hard slog to get fown there and back before dark. We packed our head torches just in case and started the decent, it was steep slippery tussock face but we made reasonable pace and were on the spiker @ about 5.30pm.
Work to do....

The prize
We made a plan to be headed back up the face by 6pm and my mate set to quartering the spiker taking off the fillets, back stakes and anything we could trim off into our packs.
Here's a quick pick of the entry wound a little high in the right front shoulder

And here is the exit wound lower on the left shoulder

But here's the real damage a 145 eldx can inflict at 450 yards split the left shoulder in 2 and snapped the bottom off it completely.

The biggest supprise was the hydrostatic damage to the lungs they were completely destroyed.
