20 minutes drive 1.5 K walk.

I had a great encounter with two spikeys,two hinds one calf and a stag too. The calf was exercising by running around all over and I thought "shit if it comes down my game trail I was set up on through the berries it will run right under the fukn tripod haha"

I initially saw antler tips ahead of me as I tried to sneak through the berries. ...ferk!
Tripod legs being extended amongst berry canes without noise was tough.Movement aplenty as they fed around with the stag sniffing the hinds with arfa!
The stag eventually sussed and saw my shape and came up to 10 yard`s from me on the other side of the berry canes and stared intently at me through the berry screen.Focusing was impossible and here I have a reasonable stag 10 yards away and I cant get the cam on him properly.... talk about spew!
He chased the spikeys away several times with sudden forward movements culminating with a shuddering "front feet together sudden stop It read as 'f##k right off you germ'
The spikeys frigged about rubbing to my left under weeping tree branches at a measly 8 yards and I couldnt believe that they didnt scent me.One eventually came out of the thick crap and at 6-7 yards sussed me and bolted but never honked,I never got a pic as I was waiting for the bull to show through my tiny spy hole in the berries with the cam aimed the other way. I reckon a faint bull pic beats a good spikey pic haha.
I watched the mob for prob 15 mins and it was an extremely exciting encounter.

The distance has now been sussed as at 8 yards instead of 10.

Get off the chair away from the desk and get out in the bush and enjoy life.
