Well done on your first Scouser. The second will be just as exciting I hope.
I truely like your thinking Scouser,that when you heard the first roars you were thinking of your mates roaring at you.
A lot could learn from this.:thumbsup:
good shit :thumbsup:
Cheers mate, have really enjoyed the journey, i like 'going bush' and making my own tracks instead of
following the DOC tracks, makes things 'more real' if you get my drift
This is something ive wanted to do for a long time, its not a 'bucket list tick' and now I'll pack in.....
Bring it on, will probably do a 'fly in Roar' next year as my hunting buddy is as keen as me.......
So cool to read this thread title with your name on it Scouser. I only got my first 18 months ago after faaaar too many trips and hours 'earning' it. After him, I downed another five (one of them a good 9point Red) within four months. So, lock and load mate! You're into them now :)
So happy for you, have you come back down to earth yet, does work still mean absolutely nothing too you...
Well done :thumbsup:
Nice work Scouser! :cool:
Sore cheeks from the massive grin I couldn't shake for several days :)
Bloody well done Scouser. I've been putting off getting into this thread till I got a good bit of time in order to savour every word. Great right up, felt like I was there. :thumbsup:
With all the tidbits and advise you got about sign and what to look for, did you have a look at the "poo pellets" that would have come out when you were gutting your stag?
There is no fresher sign than that :)
Just a recap from my original post.....i said id missed a spiker from 200+ mtrs offhand shot......he was slowly walking from a cleared slip back into the bush,
I shot kneeling down resting my arm on my knee, felt pretty confident as i was not rushed...but still missed....but still went the distance to check for blood trail or the body....nothing
and for any newbies like me, one of our crew is a very experienced hunter, he told me i should have 'opened up the legs, cut away the skin to let the heat out'....i will remember this in future if i do two carries to camp....
well done Scouser. awesome. worth all the hard yards aye.
