[@MFoden]

Great hunt!! Well done!!!

[@nzmeateater]

Thanks, glad to see you liked it👍

[@jackscott2594]

Glad to see your back out and into it. Had to laugh I’ve always been slow at the up and shoot especially when they star to run . I think the deer have got away about 200 times for the four times I’ve managed to get moving deer 😂

[@nzmeateater]

Yep I only manage to shoot about half of what I come into contact with, if Im lucky lol, they have good ears, good eyes for movement ,good smell and can run fast. Its hard being on the ball all the time in the bush. often bump into one when we least expect it.

[@evangoff4363]

Special place that mate. That track is a very productive part of the block early morning for us, and a great place to sit for a brew in the mid morning sun on the way back down.

[@nzmeateater]

Yea mate, its a special place aye, I had a hind come out and stare at me in the morning for a couple of seconds while i was brushing my teeth lol.

[@evangoff4363]

@@nzmeateaterI was there in July. Chopper was operating there and the three neighbouring blocks that they own. Took approximately 600 animals but judging by how many we saw in November they barely scratched the surface. They’re a real problem.

[@nzmeateater]

@@evangoff4363 Yea its been a year since I was last there, I could see they had taken a few out, but theres still plenty there aye.Possom hunter was telling me the machine has been hitting them hard lately.

[@adamdoig1448]

I’m a new hunter meat . I like the tips you give about wind or what to do if the dear bark at ya or where they potentially might run etc Well done on the hunt too

[@nzmeateater]

Thanks for watching, yea they usually run into wind, so they can smell danger , animal world is all about sound n smell.

[@blairbeattie3308]
