Hi,
Recently posted this in another international forum.
My very recent Red Deer, March 31. A somewhat rough hunt, abrubt part of the Andes. Full rut, some 8 deers roaring out of sight. Suddendly this one appears at 300 meters below us. Shoot at 250 meters aprox, (red circle) broke the spinal cord but the deer fall 50 meters downhill stopping in an almost imposible place...! Took 2 hours to clean the "trap" and get the meat, legs, shoulders and backstraps.
Rifle BRNO ZKK 600 9,3x62 Zeiss Victory 1,5-6x42 Ret 4. My own reloads with SAKO cases, R15 and RWS H-Mantel 258 grs at 2650 p/s. Cero at 200 m. Deadly! As usual, the bullet pass but leaving an impressive inside damage.
The knife outstanding!!! Bark River 1,25 Lt CruWear. Field dressing without any touch to the blade. Better than expected.

Congratulations on a nice stag! Hunting red deer in Patagonia is a hunt I have always wanted to do and I hope to do it in the next few years. Beautiful country. I also shoot a 9.3x62, it is a great cartridge.

Thanks for posting about your hunt.

Yes, I can see it must have been quite a task retrieving your stag in that terrain. That's the sort of country I would enjoy. I have been in similar recovery situations several times but the thrill of the hunting to get the stag makes it worthwhile.
Congrats on a well earned stag and on your straight shooting.

Yes, indeed 30.06king!!NZ has some rugged terrains, I know...

I've shot Cape Buffalo, Bison, PG and elk and deer with the 9.3x62 with a variety of bullets including the bullet you mention., which I have a supply of btw..

congrats.

i ve shot my share of red deer with 9.3x62 and oryx and partition bullet, in those days i prefer oryx.

best host and great rifle.

Hi Juan,

Nice to have used Ganyana 9,3 rifle!
Do you have any pictures of it?

Thank you!

Great caliber, used mine in Africa's DG country such as Tanzania, Zimbabwe and RSA. Its comfortable in countries with DG, even while hunting camp meat or trophy antelope as you never know whats going to pop up and challange your right to be there such as a Hippo, Lion buffalo, Elephant or whatever.

I recall PIerre van Tonders brother inlaw Richard and his Texas hunter stumbling on a cow buff with a snare and she beat them up a bit, It was on one of Saeeds hunts in the Selous. It could have been worse.
