I came back on the tractor this morning and just had to smile, these two old Red stags are staring at a young 12-point stag in this birthing paddock and his mate, Ghost, one of the new Wapiti bulls we just brought in.

The older ones lose their antlers before the younger ones. They are fun to look for to hang in the workshop shed, it makes for a great man cave.
These troublemakers are both 6 years old this Christmas, one was 14 points, one 16, but very large antlers. That's why I'm bringing in better blood to get the points up, these are from the old Bris valley stock, not that great.

They make me laugh. During the rut, they fight, but when the antlers drop, they are mates.

They are looking for Ghost, who is three years old this Chrissy. As a full-blood Montana Rocky Bull, he's already over a foot taller than the old red boys are. He will end up nearly twice their weight. He's away from the others because I'm trying to quieten him down.

Photos really don't do justice to the beauty of those beasts in the flesh.

Finally got an application into WA Firearms for a temporary permit to take my toys to Perth for the Cowboy WA state titles in a couple weeks. Also got the entry form in.

Tonight I'm helping with a Scout group come-and-try day at a pistol club.

Are there still scouts? That's unreal mate, you helping them get into shooting. I have no idea how you do all that much stuff.

Rose's mum was a Guide leader for more than fifty years, and Rose's brother's kids are still involved with Scouts, Rovers and Venturers. This one is for a pistol club an hour from me. I'd like to get the local Scout groups, Guides, Rovers, Venturers, Army and Air Force Cadets coming in to try shooting as well.

I have no idea how it all seems to happen either I'm having my grandson drive me to his TAFE this morning to put another half-hour on his log, then I'm into the club to shoot a Standard Pistol match at 1200 with a mate. From there back to TAFE to pick him up so he can drive us to Pakenham to have a driving lesson with a Cowboy shooter. While he does that I'll go to another club to pick up ammo and targets for our club, then go back to collect him. Then back to the other club for the Scout thing, which starts at 1830. If they play for only two hours I won't be home before 2130 at best.
