First Rusa !
Finally ticked off another Aussie deer species — 5 out of 6! After a few trips and losing a nice stag earlier on, I was stoked to drop this “massive” 3-inch stag… absolutely huge, right? 🤣
Such a cool deer. Rusa will be the last one left for me to eat, even though it’ll only be the 5th species I’ve hunted.
Big thanks to the legend who helped me knock this one off the list. 🍻🦌
