Sooo gents.
quite on the deer front sine the culling saga, that wasnt? but ive been doing alot of local hunting, looking an stalking with the bow more than anything, a few mossed oppertunitys...but whats new.
thought it time to use one of these plain jane 180 btsp i got running in that short barrel 30-06, an my weak
varget loads..... i was hoping to bump a deer alas i didnt, then i lost my own dog... it loves to chase Kangaroos yeah.
an hour later i drov up to a vantage point , before i started yelling out, i had two deer pop up the ridge i was on and look suprised to see me... before i got a bead on one they took off, so i took that 1 bullet an popped 100m up the hill too see where they came from....
in doing so, i spot a white critter , milling around the 3ft tall weed found in old logging areas that has not been re seeded.....
i have 2-7 scope on the 06 , no binoculars , 1 projectile and im down my own dog........ i get a glance as it walked between a gap, yep it was a Dog.
decided to watch what it might of been looking for etc, an in doing so found a nice cut off stump, an a bit of a log jam infront with a perfect angling log to lean on..what a coincidence.
i scope it and confirm it is infact, Not my dog.
so the next confirmation needed is- Is it wearing a Collar? -
as best i could tell, No collar....
i pull that Abolt into my shoulder an im telling myself "one ffn bullet mate, do not fk this up- squeeezee.."
BooomppPPHHhddd,
the ampitheatre i was in , unreal echo with such Canon!
i hear the dog yelping a little bit, i note its location an run back to my vehicle(400m) away ,, drive around a K or so to the other side of the valley for a closer inspection and to find the bugger........... in which i did. it made its way under a log jam itself...made sure was dead and pulled it out....
wallaahh
approx 200m or just shy of Shot. happy Days for the Deer ahead!
