Oregon Mule Deer

Congrats to all. Chris your gal looks over the moon at the result. Its awesome to see the ladies out there getting amongst it. And that is one top camp setup. Big American 4X4s are just so adept at towing good size caravans into the backcountry. That is something that most Aussies don't get...

I thought I should add some of my experiences here so others may get some insight and maybe ideas. I have been using a Sauer 202 in 3006 but a trip into the Victorian High Country after Sambar last year on a back pack hunt convinced me that a 12 pound rifle was to heavy to carry in steep thick...
