I have hunted twice in Africa and once to NZ but have not done much with Red deer here in Oz.
My Father got us onto a place in SE Qld to look for a Red.

I went to Dads place a day early to pick him up,so I took my rod and a few spinner baits to have a go at the cod after the floods.

I caught six Cod and one yellowbelly for the arvo.

Here is the best Cod. He was 80cm.

The first morning at the place we could hear four stags roaring. Two were on the one ridge,so after looking at the first one I moved onto the second fella.

I worked on him for a while and eventually I got him to thirty yards. One shot with the 9.3x62 sorted him.
