so my mate came up to give me a hand in the Quarry for a few days, one afternoon we knocked off early an went up the road 20 minutes to a property to go for a Hunt to look for a Deer..
my mate is a Truck driver on the highways, but also has a bit of a youtube/faceobok channel on the go an has a fair few followers...good and bad. LOL.
but it was to be his first hunt, ever.
i give him my 222 Sako to use, an said to shoot any deer you see and to hit it 2 inches behind the shoulder should the oppertunity arrise.
i pointed out a rock an log to go an sit behind, there was a kangaroo or two in the clearing he was to watch over an i said to him to stalk into the position an not spook the roo, if you spook the roo the game is over.
he sneaks in after a while , i split off an go stalking my own way. he thinks it s a bit of a 'just sit here an wait' for me moment..
15 minutes later, over where i pointed an mentioned that deer may come out from, he said a bloody deer came walking out an then across, his recount of the hunt was pretty cool, hes not phased to hunt nor kill, but i did say to shoot a deer if it comes out.
mit just come out of the bush an meandered a bit, then came into the clearing an fed for a while toward him, then across, perfect time for a shot he said now the heart rate hat settled a bit after the initial "get phooked" disbelief moment when the deer materialised
broadside, 120-140m 55gr Zmax, one shot, it ran toward him he said about 3 or 4 second and fell over, kicked twice and lay motionless...
he was stoked about this as he wasnt sure how he would go if wounding a deer or the pressure of me if he missed or wounded one LOL.
happy days!!!!!
an meat in the freezer!
