deer hunt

Talk about a low front we had it all rain, snow and hail too for 9 days( one dry day only) but of course i wouldnt miss it for quids.
I personally saw 14 deer and feel very comfortable telling you that i didnt see the same deer twice as we hunted quite a few systems.
I saw three stags of which one was a soda but i left him as he was too small after having a good look at him,though my mate from Tas took him a couple of days later with his 300 winny,second stag i saw came thru in front of a hind and calf this stag was about 24" and he got past me as he had seen me as i stood up after doing the nature calls now thing,i had a fair look as he jumped the track and was happy he wasnt a big bastard,the hind stopped so i took the calf and let her go.Four systems walk from camp i came into a gully full of red hot white gum rubs so commenced trying to nut the stag out and after criss crossing for an hour or two he jumped out of the berries below me and i only saw one antler of a minimum 28" though he could go to 30 "....dont know if there only was one but it seems strange that i didnt see two as i looked down on him going down and across the hill,he was only 80 yards or so but he beat me fair and square till we hunt him next time,i had it planned for the next day but the rain came down harder and was too much to walk into the stags gully so far away,all in all a good trip except for the rain but of course that comes with the job of sambar hunting.I will post a pic when developed.JG
