That's awesome. Such great country to hunt. I like the forend notch in the pack frame
Did you use thermal at all for spotting. Would have been good conditions for it.

Ive got a hand held thermal spotter that I use and it's quite good if the weather is a bit cooler. I think it gives me an advantage but my mates still get as many or more than me without one. I probably get more out of a smaller area than them, and to get theirs they probably have to cover a bigger area.

On the right day I would spot about 75% through the spotter and the rest through binos.

I found mine a very valuable tool when I was last down there and on my last goat/pig hunt. Often it was find them with the thermal and then try and find them with the binos. I am not sure of the percentages but there were a fair few animals I spotted with the thermal that I wouldn't have seen without it.
