or so they say.... some will remember a lesson i learnt recently with an old stag with small handle bar antlers..... i face shot him, lost him an found him...
well, ironically. this morning, dirivng up the same track , i spy two big brown ghosts hovering along the fence line on crack of dawn......

out with the bino, confirmation, scramble, get a gun some ammo an bag head off up the track close the gap.

in an exact scenerio as the Old stag, only 50m from where i eventually killed him, Stood this other big body bugger.... feeding, unaware.?

subaru are quiet i guess...

anyway, about 250m , lay down, get it sorted an squeeze a 140gr Woodleigh down the pipe.......... smoke clears. Deers bucked an ducked into the bushline....

i kept hunting, as felt confident, found some fallow, but shot high at 370 odd..... warning for next time to stand a bit further out..... as were young spike bucks.

anyway went home an grabbed me Dog- cant legally hunt this breed of dog in Aus- an returned before sun rose too far..

we walked 20 into the bush an i find blood, another 30 i find Dog pretty happy about himself... an dead deer.

quite interesting as ive never personally seen one do this... at close enough range with high enough velocity.... proof in the pudding tho (or my Jar i guess)
 
Wow, that’s a big deer, not like what I’ve seen.
Looks as big as a timber moose,
Looks like a crappy muck back out haha
