Thread: Report on my shortest ever hunt

I was so looking forward to my hunt on Sunday. A primo forecast after the cold wet southerly that went through on Saturday. I was expecting deer would be out in the sun everywhere.

I left home at 4am, 2 hr drive to spot x. I was amping as I was pulling my boots on, I'd had a couple of very busy weeks with work and there was nothing I was looking forward to move than being up the hill on my own and settling in behind the binos to search for a willing participant to help me test the terminal performance of the 195gr Bergers from the new 28 Nosler.

It was nice and still and a clear starry sky, it was going to be an awesome day.

Then literally just 30 seconds from the car I slip and dislocate my bloody knee AGAIN, hit the deck pretty hard giving the new rifle and new scope a big smack on the ground.

I picked my sorry sore asre up and hobbled back to truck before the knee swelled up too much. Dosed up on anti-inflammatory and pain relief and headed for home. Luckily it's my left leg and the truck is an auto, otherwise I don't think I could have driven.

Not quite the alone time I had in mind.

Was back home by 8.30am. Was a nice day for a drive tho.

So Gutted.
