G'day fellas,

Yes it has been awhile since I last posted but I've been busy with life, a new job and such that my year has really gotten away from me!

So I thought I needed to get away for the day to scout of some Chital deer country that I've not been to in a year or so. At this stage i'm waiting on shoulder surgery - a badly seperated shoulder is not fun - so it was just young master Samuel Kidner who would be stalking the woods with his new custom TD recurve.

Me, well I was running in my new camera and 500m lens and it was my job as lead scout and photographer.


 


A wee bit of stump shooting is always in order...




And these termite homes on trees sure do make top targets to shoot at...





And after a short while we were on the trail f a stag or two. Today I was teaching my son some light tracking skills in the bush, looks as if we are on the trail... just what every tracker seeks.... evidence...




And naturally a fine bow helps too...





But it was a warm day for Spring here in aussie, even the locals felt the heat...




So it was time to have a cool drink and a bite to eat...




After we cooled off in the shade we then pick up the spoor again and wlked into what we thought would make a fine backpack camping area. It had large Black Oak trees placing a shady cover over a fine patch of bush.... but I got the feeling the deer would like it just as much as we would... and I was right....

This yearling staying around long enough for a snap...





That was very much our day and I thought I share it with my Trad Gang friends...


Cheers,


ak.

   

     
Thanks for sharing. Nice photos.

I loved it. Thanks for the photos of a far away place. I didn't know you had deer there.

Great photos...was that a vegamite sandwich..lol!

Looks like one of the best ways to spend a day in the world to me.  Dad and his boy in nature.  Nothing much in the world gets better than that.

nice

Our Aussies always have the greatest stories!

Young Samuel sure is growing up into a fine looking young man.  Thanx for the pix and good luck with that shoulder brother  

Thank you sir!

Thanks for sharing!

Good to see you here, Al.  Even better that you're back home.  Heal fast and listen to the physical therapists!

Cheers guys, and yes... I plan to listen to the physio...lol.
