Patience, Persistance or just good luck

I've finally got the pics off my phone from the weekend so really stoked to be able to show people now. Went to SA on the weekend for a hunting weekend tagging along my Bear Mauler and was fortunate enough to get on to this big boy!
After a fucking hell of a lot of hard work over the past year and a fucking stinking hot day I've finally managed to put my first deer on the ground with my bow and what an animal he is! Thanks to HartHunter for a good weekend and look forward to this story and a story from him as this truly was a weekend of a lifetime!

MY first deer/buck with the bow - 35 metre shot, adrenaline was pumping so much that I fucked up a quartering towards me shot and hit him in the neck but the rage did its job and he went down 50 metres away!

Very nice!

Congratulations. You won't forget that one!
Looking forward to getting out in the roar and getting a stag with my bow as I've been a bit lazy recently and picked the rifle up instead.

Sure is mate, that's what you get when you cross Australia's most barren state with intensive sheep grazing and pretty much 15years of drought like conditions. not quite the beautiful sites as nz but it has its own challenges and own rugged beauty.

Yeh you and me both Matt, my feet stil haven't touched the ground after this but when they do got some hard yards ahead. Just got my elk cow diaphragm today and I've seen them work so keen to see of I can draw a big red in with it!

Got me spewing, Jack, you've got me spewing. Good stuff.

Top shot:cool:

An we dont want to know what antics went on after the kill................:ORLY:
But you sure did 'spank' it well

Looking forward to getting over the ditch soon

its hard enough to get an animal with a rifle but to get an animal like that with a bow is outstanding

It was alive when I left it with Patrick so who knows what he did to the poor fucker, might have given him the old NZ treatment haha

Look forward to spanking a few over here with ya!

Hi guys,
So my mate who is doing the taxidermy job on my fallow (check him on facebook - Ballarat Taxidermy) said it'll be ready to mount in the next couple of weeks when the skin back from the tanners and I'm helping out with the mount as I want to learn how to do it.
It's my first with the bow and after he blew me away with the score after he measured it (not that I'm usually into that stuff) I would really like to do something different and special. I'm thinking an aggressive shoulder mount or a sneak with both ears turned what do people think?

Type them into google and it comes up with whitetail examples of both options, or any others people have. So far I have a standard red, fallow and chital mount all favouring their better side and my sika is done with one ear turned.

Cheers,

BH

also if anyone has any other ideas?

Have faith in your taxidermist they have done it all before;)

Nah he's fuckin hopeless haha

Its actually a good mate of mine about my age starting up his own taxi business
I'm just keen to learn and hes happy to teach.

Check him out, not bad for a youngster!

Some good work there,I've always been interested in taxidermy but don't have much wall space now.

Keep us informed,love too see the finished trophy:thumbsup:

man look at the palms on that! started my hunting in the blueys on fallow but never saw anything like that,well done.

Yeh he's something else. He and my white one had cracking palms but not a lot of palm length. dont think I'll ever beat him though
