Radar love

[John Gryphon]

I love the internet live weather radar site and looked at it this morn and saw we had a two hour window before the wide rain band arrived here.
I did cheat with this hind in the video as I was in my ute heading up higher and rounded a bend and she was broadside in the bush on my left across a little gully...kept motoring till I got to another bend then kitted up and sneaked back downhill eventually finding her looking very alert. There was a very light drizzle.
The early light was poor but Swaro`s are good and after 10 mins or so of watching her she lay down and bedded and it took quite a bit of frigging about to get the tripod/camera set. Job done after a noisy little cheep from me got her head up.

I sorfed off to another place as the rain came down and found another hind with her arse to me well down on the gully floor,snapped a bit of video and then walked another 100 yards and VOILA ****! THERE`S A ****ING STAG! I saw his half handy antlers as he was un obscured by the surrounding cover ..schitt! I dropped the binos to stand the tripod up and possibly to even put the crosshairs on him and I never saw him again...I looked and looked and looked...O!

Your doing well to spot her at 100 yards in that
