Bugger me, if I ain't gunna be a good little hunter, this year>
after 3 trips "up the Bush", no bloody meat.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !
Did all my reconnaissance too.
I walked up on 2 bedded down deer, with camera in hand, and rifle slung over shoulder, and they got away.....No meat !
Shannon (son) spotted 4 at 400yds up this bloody great hill, and next evening they appeared again, and he did a long shot of 300+, and the Stag staggered back into the bush, never to be seen again......5 hrs searching deep gully's and ravines failed to locate him, and another 3 hrs the next morning, same thing......We were both disappointed on that one, as it was a massive Stag, with a gr8 rack. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !
Bumped into one in morning mist, but it gave us the slip. No meat
Final night after we came out of the bush, in the dark, packed up drove back to camp, and at about 3 km down the road, 2 "spikers", bounced across in front of us. No meat....!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr !
Never mind that's hunting.
Not bad hunters, just a little out of luck !
No more to say.... our day will come, and will fill the feeezer again
Cheers
