Hat off to you for a fine accomplishment! :D
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

Well done mate... really well done! Sambar with a stickbow.... what a top effort. But I think you should have waited for your arrows to turn up... :wink:


More pics please mate or are you planning on submitting them somewhere else?

You will have to let us know what it tasted like Piggy. I've never tried sambar before, as I haven't hunted them much, as there aren't many in my local area.

Well done mate. I know that you're in the enviable situation where you seem to have numerious opportunities to take sambar, but you usually hold off for some reason. That's understandable, but it doesn't hurt to take one for the table every now and then. In fact, I'd rather see someone take a succulent hind to a big rank stag anytime.

There is no use focusing on aiming if you don't execute the shot well enough to hit what your are aiming at.

Mick, If you are coming up this way soon let me know I will give you some meat to try, and yes generally I just enjoy watching them but some of the neighbours asked for some meat.

Will post another pic shortly

If I had half your talent I'd be a happy , proud man! Well done, Paul!
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!

Mick, I cooked up part of one of the back straps for some Kiwi friends on Monday night.
Marinated the meat in some nice Red wine for about 1.5h seared it on the BBQ on each side and finished it off in the over for 15 minutes.
I made a sauce out of 1 cup red wine (the same bottle as used in marinade) some butter and a hand full of cranberries brought it to the boil and let simmer until it thickened.

It went down well and tasted great.
should have taken a pic.

Cheers

With the meat from the Hind after butchering I give most of it away to local
residents of my street and mates and kept the back straps some for making
Salami and sausages.
While in hospital my wife said the neighbour ( a retired Chef) had brought me
back some of my venison which he usually does.
How good do these look Venison and vegetable pies

Tasted bloody fantastic also.
