No shakes today!

[Smellydog]

Just took my time in the silent wood. A couple of steps at a time. Two hours of that then this young chap came towards me until in a gap in the trees and he stopped looking at me about 40yds away. As he stopped the Winchester came up, leveled on his head and wallop, down he was.
Good ol' 3030.

Very nice

Good stuff. Well done.

Perfect example of what its all about for those who prefer a considered approach to hunting over distance & speed.

A cracking job & nothing beats the reward of getting close in to fallow like that - gets even more exciting when you’re stalking the buggers in cover & can get down to single digit distances, that gets the old heart pounding I can tell you!

That's the freezer full then SD

Well done SD ..nice and close.

Had my 11 yr old with me.
Had a couple of shots I’d normally have gone with. Nothing like your son whispering “come on dad” to put the pressure on. I did get the shakes.
But I could see how black they all were underneath and thought better of it. And it was creeping closer to bed time, dragging 60kg would have put me into bollocking territory!

Well done mate. Nice body (on the fallow ...not you as Im not that way inclined )

Another great day out with that denizen of the bush...the 30/30.

SD...Q - "Just took my time in the silent wood. A couple of steps at a time. Two hours of that then..." - UQ.

Being able to do that means you will make a very effective sambar hunter in the High Country of Victoria in Ozland. I hope new stalkers on TSD who are just starting out take note of and learn from your example.

Thought his eyes would have popped a bit more with the 30.30, Sika used to when I head shot them with my old Winnie 30.30.

I popped them back in my friend.
