I would like to show a few samples from my hunting during the 2009 season.
It started with a 7 days plains game hunt in RSA East Cape in April, here is the last one i got during this trip. (I have removed the PH, since i don`t know if he would like to have his face shown here...)
Later the same year the hunting season started back home to, so in September i got this one. Norwegian red deer.
One month later i got this gentleman in my scope. Norwegian moose. The dog, a Norwegian Elkhound is called Bill. )
This last photo is taken on a hunting trip in the mountains where i was hunting grouse. This was in 2007. We use to have a basecamp at 1700m above sea, and the temperature is usually about -10 degrees celsius. It is really beutifully in the mountains this time of the year, but it can be a bit rough to.....
Thank-you to Jacques for providing this wonderful opportunity,
and to Jerome for his patience in teaching a complete Lud-light how to post pics.
Some of my modest contributions to follow.
To begin, this is my very first bull Tahr taken in some very rough country on N.Z's west coast.
My approach route was the steep rock face in back of picture !
The drop to the River below was close to sheer and in excess of several hundred meters.
Wow Paul! I'm not sure which impresses me more the scenery in the Chamois pic or what it took to get to the Tahr. I know that Tahr would have never been in any danger from me!
My first shot on this bull, off the sticks at about 90yds facing almost head-on, missed the heart by a couple of inches.
No follow up shot was possible in the mixed herd.
We tracked him, and one of his buddies for more than one and a half tense hours before jumping him from a patch up thick scrub.
He paused at 30yds whilst giving me a look that would melt Pluto.
Instinct took over and i put a solid through his shoulders that put him down for good.
Immense relief, following an intense tracking period.
Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
