Good luck on your hunt. I like your quiver/bag, cool.

Love the pic. I wish you good luck and success on your hunt.

Hopefully end of this month or mid feb but I'm thinking end of this month will be a bit better as there has been a bit of rain to make stalking a bit easyier.

What state are you from?

Im in NSW mate but grew up in Victoria in-between sale and bairsdale on property. I grew up on hog deer and sambar hunting before I could walk with my dad. I've only shot one sambar with my rifle but have a fair few hog deer under my belt.

Wish you the best of luck chasing Sambar they sure are switched on deer.
Ah hog deer now that would be nice with the trad gear!
On my list to seriously hunt in the future.

Cheers Mate

Yea I've done alot of photography when I was younger on hog deer and sambar and the sambar were alot more alert I found, but in saying that the country that sambar reside in is alot harder stalking country too.

I enjoy the photography side of hunting also, took this pic last year not a bad stag
