[QUOTE="AussieChris, post: 301500, member: 4915"] Do you not shoot anymore? I went for a hunt early this morning just before dawn, stalked some Sambar deer with my bow for a couple of hours but didn't end up taking a shot. I did see a Red deer stag that would have been 12-14 points but they are out of season in NSW even as a "feral pest" and honestly I leave those big trophy bucks alone anyway so that I still have deer to hunt in 20 years time. I was after a smaller spiker for the freezer, make some sausage and jerky :) I mostly hunt by bow but did take my good old .270 Weatherby Alaskan along hoping to spot them in open areas. I'm pretty handy with it out to about 600-650m, then if I truly ever needed to shoot longer I have a Weatherby Mark V Accumark RC in 338-378 Wby.Mag and a TIKKA T3 TACTICAL 308. I recently had a shot of a mates McMillan Tac-338 Lapua alongside my Mark V, watermelons and pumpkins from 1260m according to gps, expensive but fun afternoon lol. [/QUOTE]
