There is no hunting season in my part of the world. You can shoot these all year round. Thought I'd make the most of it

Great pic and nice shot, Aussie! What caliber is your Ruger????
That beautiful critter is a Fallow Deer, right?
Why, if anybody knows, are they called that? ("Fallow" means only one thing to this ex-country boy....).

I might be a tad prejudice, but I think that is a beautiful rifle. CHAZ

I'm prejudiced too. Mine is a #3 carbine.
Practice safe eating. Always use a condiment.

[] [/email] 2012 was an exceptionally good year for me (if you completely ignore politics). While I much prefer to hunt birds, there is something about elk tenderloin on the barbeque on a warm Spring (or Summer, or Fall) night. No antlers here, an not even much of a rifle (a lefty Weatherby .300) but this cow will keep my family in good eats for another year or two.

That beautiful critter is a Fallow Deer, right? Thanks Mike, Yes, he is a Fallow. His colour variation is known as 'Menil'. Ruger is in 7x57. A 140grain Sierra Gameking did the job nicely at 207 yards. Antlers & cape are at the taxidermists already.

Here is my last pic from the last hunt/shoot of the 2012/13 season. Now it will be another 6 or 7 weeks of withdrawals until the 2013 season kicks off with Spring Turkey season. After the hunt celebration at Pleasant Valley Hunting Preserve

Gil,
One oddity about them is that you never see an Eastern north of Brier Creek. South of it they are occasionally seen around here. Although I did ride up on one, one time, on Dec. 31, in Allendale County, SC, while hunting deer on horseback. He ended up in the Columbia, SC Zoo herpetarium.
SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.
