Had a successful hunt for chital on the weekend, thanks to a good mate who needed the passenger-seat in his Hilux filled. Had to borrow one of his "modern"

rifles due to relatively short notice and no workable ammunition for the Jeffery Mannlicher. It will have to wait till next time!

Managed to close on two stags, this one in hard antler and one in velvet, and bagged a lone hind for additional venison. A few rabbits and pigs also bit the dust, and a single feral cat was a bonus. All in all, a very enjoyable few days back in Far North Queensland, my old stomping ground of a quarter-century past!
