It’s definitely not a farm, it’s public access...

The deer are safe there & happily flaunt themselves in the open cos they know people cant shoot while standing on their heads... :D

I don't think that theory would work in tassie. One of the two heads could be trained to see upside down.............

Hey, I’m seeing twice as many As you bustards...
Was ranged apparently at 1500m and that was a distance they ensured remained between any humans and their slowest.

:lol:
Im inclined to suggest it may be a balance issue then--you know...based on the physics of a tripod for stability...only 2 heads would still cause an in balance...
But i fear you'll come back with a three headed argument, which would be even funnier...!!

Why can't that be in QLD, on public land (hopefully one day i'll be able to hunt on).
I'd rather be hunting

It'll never happen Cal-ApeR we don't have the upside down terrane like that and the deer over here don't have the feet to hang on :thumbsup:
and to shoot one of those the way they're hanging i'd be shooting 3'' low unless I held my gun upside down :silent: ;) :) :D :thumbsup: :drinks:

Great photo, the only thing I see in those sort of numbers are Roos. Even bunnies are hard to come by.
