Last this april, piggy passed her up as i must be getting soft in my old age, but i tell you now no deer comes close in the taste "steaks" than hog deer.

At the start of our career on hunting the six deer species he wore ear muffs but after the hog deer and sambar he soon learnt that once the rifle is raised to put his fingers in his ears.......smart kid

Have to agree about the taste of Hog deer, have mates who hunt them every year and throw some meat my way

You DO realize however that you will be held personally responsible for the nightmares that Stace & Pete are gunna have after viewing that BROWN snake photo, don't you?

just too clarify, not true, i aint scared of snakes themselevs, but rather what happens when they bite you in the middle of nowhere

.in fact i've been known to foolishly catch and handle them on the odd occation. I'm lucky i'm still alive from some of the silly stuff i do

But, Theres some great pics there. how close to the deer are you to take the pics?

Problem is Pete once you start to try and hunt with a bow they all seem too far away and yet when i carry a rifle they want to sit in your lap

I guess i'll just have to get out more
