Put in a arvo hunt as the weather is still good. Didn't really need meat so took the "Fat lady". Headed in to put a camera out on a scrape/ preach Bit of sign and slowed down on a face that I put a good stag up on a week or so back. Not there today so headed on towards the scrape.
About 50m from the scrape I spotted a sambar feeding at 22m. Dropped to my knees and he kept feeding. He was facing me and unable to shoot as a tree in the way.
Had to lean out a bit to get the sights on him, his sixth sense had him taste the air and his mane flared All happened pretty quick as he turned to his left I let one go. the result was spectacular, he did a complete headfirst somersault and down. Kicked forward a meter or two and all over. Stoked. First with the .577.
Pics and butchered for the carry out
