Last November was my first trip into the Alpine National Park where we did a week’s hunting. Being our first trip, we didn’t expect to see much, just hoped to build some knowledge of what these new deer had to offer.

We ended up seeing numerous deer and both shot a stag each which was both unexpected and very rewarding. I have attached a few photos of our deer.

I am heading back this coming November we are planning to spend 7 days backpack hunting around the Howitt Plains. I have been studying your chapter ‘Hunting the Sub alpine’ in SOTS Vol 2 in preparation for our hunt. Can’t wait!

Thank you again for taking the time to write in my books. I will no doubt continue to enjoy them for many years to come.

Kind Regards,
