    Guess away. It doesn't devalue the meat.
    What I will say though is that he was within 100 yards of both public and private with no fence in between.

    Holy shit! Just sitting in a tussock clearing, let out two roars, went on the forum for a second, so looking down at phone, nekminute i look up and a 10 pointer is nearly walking over top of me!!!

    Supposed to be working but with distractions like this I won't be very productive!

    So is it on the ground yet Josh?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I don't have a rifle with me today. Plotting trees.

    The joys of being half deaf, didn't even hear the fecker walk up to me. Last thing I expected was a stag to come for a look.

    Oh Josh it sounds as though it was close enough for you to rip its throat out with your little pinky finger.

    I am very surprised at how close he got without me hearing him.

    It's one of my favourite things with my job. Run into deer all the time. But never had one come that close (when I haven't been hunting)

    he knew you didn't have your rifle. They do it to me when I'm running the (non-hunting) dogs.

    I'm hoping that fella you mentioned is in the Catlins where I'll be . . . . . . .

    Sounds like you've got a cool job, Josh, mind if I ask what you do?
