David:

Muslims can hunt and eat the meat. Islamic law allows for the difficulties of hunting. Basically a muslim hunter must shoot in the name of Allah, and recover the animal within 3 days for the meat to be halal.

Halal is arabic for "legal" or "lawful." In Islamic law (shari'a) is means permitted by god. Food producers who want muslim customers (why wouldn't they?) pay a certification body to check out ingredients and production methods for compliance. They then display the stamp for the ...

Hi Guys, I'm trying to collect some cash so I have some awesome binoculars on ebay. They are premium binoculars with a built in laser rangefinder, good as new. It is a very good buy as they are worth $3000 new. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=1...

Sorry Jindy, they were snapped up this morning. Hunting the cape? Sweeeet...

Not yet mate. Woody has discontinued the heavier braodheads, so stock up if you like them.

I always keep a small amount of lint in my bellybutton, in case of emergency. Otherwise the bicycle inner tube works fine. I'd rather eat my chips.

Well then, nice reading CM. Not every writer can do that. I once found a recording of Samuel Beckett reading his novel "Molloy", probably my favourite storybook. What a shocking displeasure! His reading was very clumsy, not at all what I expected.

NIce one, CM. It really adds another dimension to your writing. Is that the author reading or did you hire an actor?

]I have a dozen new Outback Stealth broadheads for sale, double bevel, screw in. 145gr.

Please see Woody's web page for details:

PM please.

Hi guys, happy hunting. The small game are a great challenge for me. I've been after the rascals with my longbow and the rabbits are indeed string jumpers. On the property I hunt they are in excellent form after a wet summer and plenty of juicy grass. How's this? I went for a stalk with just one arr...

As I said, I really just wanted to talk about fletches and just to throw a cat amongst the pigeons, to end this, I'll provide a quote from W. J. Rheingans, in the second reference above, regarding the difference in performance of plastic fletches and real feathers. I quote: Formula (5) also indicat...

I bought most of my camo online and got the sizing all wrong. This 2xl bush shirt is good as new, worn and washed (outdoor research scent killer) only a few times. Natgear webpage says this size is to fit 50" chest. $40 with postage I also have some Liberty Brand poly/cotton cargo pants in Natu...

I was too slow. That was a real bargain! Congratulations to the winning bidder.

A brushtail used to come into my room in a Canberra townhouse I was sharing. I liked it but I was nervous it would **** on my bed. I made the mistake of extending a finger for it to sniff. It just bit on it. A very firm test bite. Thank God it let go when I yelped, but it was completely unphased. It...

Those blighters have bone-crushing jaws: Some zoo I visited mentioned the pressure they can exert with their jaws. I googled it and found they have the same bite-force as the grey wolf, which is six times the size of the Devil. Bite pressure will be covered on: Dangerous Encounters: Monster Bite Mon...

I noticed this old bbq ,it had the burners rusted out but was pretty good otherwise so i dragged it up onto the ute in full view of kiddies playing in the street.I didnt care one bit. Then, about 2 streets later I saw another barbie and upon inspection found that the burners were like new. ...but J...

SOLD thanks.

I've worn them about 5 times, they are in very good condition. Only ever washed in Sportswash (no UV brighteners or perfumes). Too big for me. I haven't eaten nearly as much game as I hoped, and can't fill 'em out. Waist is 40-43" with adjustable side tabs. Plenty of pockets. $30 posted anywher...

Big Five 60# @28". A fun bow. Sorry no pics.

Samuel Beckett is my favourite. It can be depressing, but its very funny too. You have to be in the mood. His minimalist style can be a challenge to read. Otherwise I favour 20th Century Americans - Steinbeck, Hemingway, Faulkner. I recently devoured "The Border Trilogy" by Cormac McCarthy...

I've since moved into a house with a nice big back yard, but I often practised archery inside the flat. The holes in the wall are proof. My home-made target butt just couldn't stop every arrow at 5m. I also made a couple of holes in the couch, and one in a wooden kiddie chair. The worst was a wild r...

...and speaking of shoooting at stuffed toys, when I first started archery, I had a compound bow I picked up at cash converters. I used to go to a nearby oval and shoot at a big toy dog I found. My next-door neighbour had this pair of yappy little dogs, and it was very funny to see them shut up and ...

I believe hunting is simply an irresistible and primeval urge, an instinct if you must, remaining within some of us from the times when hunting was a daily necessity and an everyday part of life. It's actually a part of us. Well said, Mick. My thoughts exactly. Hunting feels perfectly natural, but ...

Good idea to prepare early, cling. I would suggest a baby backpack like the Macpac Possum, and go walking with one of your young'uns in there. He'll love it and you get to work specific hiking/packing muscles. A few months ago I started riding my pushy to work three or four days a week and my aerobi...
