250840250841 Had a cracker year so far, a really nice fellow buck and a pretty decent red. Both shot at 500y with the same gun in the same gulley 3 weeks apart. Funny how that happens, right...

My best and only Sika stag for 2024 so far shot last Sunday. Shot at a distance of 10m with Brno 243 and Remington 100 grain. Still trying to find that ellusive 8 pointer. 250691

No luck in the thick of the roar but managed to bag this fella just before Anzac Day. Roared him in from about 400m out. Was holding a fair few hinds and spikers. Left a nice young 8 to replace him....

I managed to bugger up all my limited chances with Reds during the roar but had some awesome stalks but a bit of bad luck at the end - was happy enough to be out in the bush. I shot this wee guy...
