30 years between drinks
A good mate of mine gave me a call last November to see if I would go for a drive up the bush with him after doing a fair bit of maintenance on his 4WD. He was a bit worried going on his own if something went wrong. I said no problem's and I have the spot to go. So a quick tip up the scrub to an area I know if we have trouble its not that hard to get out. After a bit of testing the 4WD all seemed really good and it was time to go for a glass and to see if we can find a deer for him to shoot, as he hasn't been hunting for 30 years. Well this is what happened with the new proof carbon rap in 338lapimp.

Well done. Look like it fell at least 10 stories down the hill.

Re: 30 years between drinks
Its was a mission, But full credit to old mate, I was putting the pack on to carry it out for him (as a good guild would do ) He said no! I shot it, it's my deer and I need to earn it so I will carry it out. I did go over in my head the CPR training. Was an awesome effort and I think he really appreciates the hard work in recovery.

When I played the video back I couldn't believe it. These big guns sure hit bloody hard.

Re: 30 years between drinks
yes, good to have someone handy who can get you restarted in a situation like that. It was a bloody good shot but carrying that bugger out was an even better effort.

Was a mission that’s for sure. But was a great memory and a humbling experience helping a good maté achieve something he thought he would never do again.
