ok, for those that don't have a clue what chevon is, it's the term for goat meat, like beef is to cattle.
went for a hunt on the weekend and managed to bag a couple of goats which are always welcome on my family table. there were some billies chasing nannies which i find happens this time of year, at least where i go. nothing huge but none the less the evaded me yet again. seems every time somethings happens, wind or they just don't present a shot....that's hunting.
anyway i managed to get in front of a mob as they made their way up the hill. this nanny gave me a quartering on shot inside 15m. arrow passed through her and stuck into the dirt behind her.
early the next morning i walked the river hoping to see some pigs or deer. though i didn't see any it was a worth while walk since we chanced upon this-
we had a record flood here a couple of years ago and all sorts of things have been found along the river, from hay bales to pallets. that day we found a 1000L shuttle half full of a black liquid........either sump oil or molasses i thought. there was a small amount of residue on the ground below and it was confirmed to be molasses.
bait station! i punched a hole in it and we had a gusher. hopefully i can get back there soon to have a look.
after that i headed into the hills again after goats.
some other goats in the mob made their way off the flat to the hill where i was waiting in ambush. a young billy came towards me and stopped while pawing the ground, some small branches covering his chest. he then bedded down. less than 5 seconds after he bedded i put him to sleep. another quartering on shot. 930gr's worth of arrow went though him from under 15m once again.
another enjoyable hunt
