High Country Stag Hunt September

Hunting in the Mount Beauty area I bumped a large stag which I managed to stalk to within 50 metres of. I could see him clearly and he was looking straight at me, I raised my rifle but he then moved behind some tees so I did not have a clear shot and he ran off. It was exhilarating to get so close to this large and elusive animal. All in all a great day out in the bush and nothing was harmed in the making of this adventure, so no free range organic venison, this time.
