Wrong time,wrong place..

Last week when I was fungicide spraying in our vineyards I got the shock of my life when I saw 3 fallow in the neighbour's place,not 50m away from their winery and a house and our work sheds. So of course,I've been carrying Mr 243 with me all week...
Today I was working on a flat tire on my fungicide unit with the maintenance man when I mentioned the deer. He was pretty darn surprised, but not as much as I 30 minutes later when he texted me that one was walking down the row on one of our blocks !
Now I won't glorify the story further,suffice to say we drive along the headlands till we saw it,I jumped out and bowled it over with a front on shot to the chest,then gave it a finisher to the head. Couldn't spend a lot of time mucking around,but we're both going home with a back leg and a back strap,and another bloke has got a heap of dog meat...

Definitely wrong time, wrong place for this buck....

Well the closest ive ever got to shooting dinner at work is shooting some timber with my nail gun, whose off-cuts i made a bread board with...nothin like that tho...!!

Gees i bet the 'happy its friday' feeling kicked in early & the beer-o-clock ale tasted extra good after work...!
