Thanks Jeff The trip was good as they are always into that country but we did face some radically changed landscape up there after the big cyclone went through , there was water all over the place and trees smashed down all over , game was more widely dispersed that the year prior but plentiful as a...

Fantastic work They are by far and a way the hardest of the deer to get an arrow into particularly out of slower traditional equipment , but a constant drip will wear away stones , congratulations on your persiverence and a well earned trophy.

Keep after him Tony

That was a super read , he wont out-fox you everytime , one sunny afternoon when his belly sends him to the field to feed you will be there to pop up in his salad , neat camo to by the way , it fits in very well with the country your in.

Keep us posted

Of old deer and arrows

I can think back to when I was in my early teenage years; I would stand in the news agency and look at the pictures of hunters chasing deer all over Australia, imagining what it must be like to stalk Red stags, marveling at the beauty of Chital deer. In a locker at my house there is a stack of magaz...

I waited by a jump in a fence that has been getting a lot of traffic through it and shivered anxious for the sun to arrive, 10 minutes after sun up I could see the deer making their way in tow...
