Down here in Victoria, Australia. I know of alot of people that only stop when its too hot to walk the hills in fear of the dreaded joe blake! (snake). Deer season occording to a few of my sorces is going to be a good one. The fires have affected large areas of prime country but, there are still deer being taken by those that put in the effort.

As far as calibres, I used to shoot a 458 but have seen the light and now shoot a 7mm rem, much better at both ends!
