Thanks Nimrod...I know what you mean re: peta and all...and to be fair snaring is a pretty slow death in some cases...though I've picked up bunnies that had hit the snare so hard they'd damn near broke it and many others that sat quite still with it not even cutting into their fur...I think in a sur...

Just bought a couple of moondyne swags...for the boys...under 200 each through sporting shooters...good swag too.

gotta be a trangia. used one for years...gotta be a trangia ...oh god alzheimers...but seriuosly folks they are a great stove...and beer comes in ally cans...

Hi all, Dunno if it's " bush craft " as I learned it in the field in UK...that might be splitting hares... :oops: ...but I was thinking about the trapping that i learned from my old man and I'd be happy to do a photo essay on how we used to make up snares...and how to set them...maybe if a...

Thanks for replies fellas, Otis, I'll be writing down those places otis and studying up on themfor sure. We've got 3 weeks to play with but I'd like to spend a few days exploring on foot and just kicking back at the tranquil spots. This is last trip we'll do for a while as we've got a new bub on the...

Yeah mate a great dog the old lurcher...I remember a poem ...not word for word but goes something like this " Backed like a beam, sided like a bream, footed as a cat and tailed as a rat " I forget the rest but it's a pretty good description. As a kid I spent many hours witt he old fellas i...

G'day all, first up I apologise for the erratic visits to the site over the year/s...but we're finally on line at home, yeeharrr, so I should be able to stay in touch and avoid the embarassing drop outs that occur when you're using the local library computers ( some of the old birds at the place tak...

hooweee now yer talkin...lurchers mate...love ,em...I had a beaut brindle whippet cross airedale thingy...what a sight at full tilt doing a 180 with his shoulder touching the grass and huge divots flying...brings tears to the eyes...I had to leave him with a mate when I came out here....probably pas...

yipes...I dunno if I can spend that much on him ( with out his mum going ape )....it looks very similar to his bro's bow ( a perfect line ) that we got from Hoddywells....inc quiver etc ready to shoot ( I know how impatient these kids can be ).....I will have to get back to you on this one and maybe...

Thanks Glenn, yep hard hunting indeed, you see a few tracks but little else, I go up to Mt. Quandong a bit but what a hard slog that is...lotta rock wallabies but little else...Airlie Beach has changed heaps, so much development and it's right up to the edges of the National Parks. There's still can...

I'm not worthy....I'm not worthy

G'day all I was just wondering who's around my area here in Airlie Beach, Mackay, Bowen and Townsville....and if they're up for hunting around here or anywhere really....in a month or two I hope to get out to a pay n play property just south of Townsville, not that I'm mad keen on paying to hunt, it...

whoo hoo choices choices....ummm paul yeah mate go for it....he likes the sound of a compund so feel free to take over on that one...thanks moreton but he probably wants the compound...so Mr Hogan sir tell us more ......

I believe you may be better off with techniglue ( trade name ) apparently regular epoxy like west system and the like don't take flexing too well....but I'm no expert

Hello all, I'm looking for a bow for my other son Liam (jake's very happy and shooting well with his 20 lb compound ) up to 30lb will suit him fine, he's chunkier than his twin, anything considered...thanks guys and gals.

G'day Chris...yeah I'd love to pop by, thanks for the invite. Mostly I'll be down in Devon and Cornwall and Essex....but I dare say the rellies will drive me mad within days and maybe I could drive up....it aint that far by aussie standards :lol: Jape...will she be angry? :shock: did ya literally ju...

That's right, the family's off back to pommie land for a break...actually a wedding...But anyway in the 3 or 4 weeks that we are there I will no doubt call in to a few archery suppliers, so if there's any SMALL bits and pieces you've been hankering after that are only available from the land of the ...

I got a cheap mono off ebay a year ago...It's cheap, a chinese copy probably but hey it works well, , I dropped it oops...but it bounced and is still perfect....I think it's 8x32....fits good in pants pocket or shirt pocket.....I reckon for a quick squizz around they're perfect.....just my opinion b...

hey thanks jape...I will check with the local depts...epa I suppose or parks and wildlife....btw who did you speak to?...I got two full length skins each about 2.5 m long....I reckon they'd look wicked

I've been given a couple of sloughed snake skins, diamond ? python apparently...and I'm wondering if I'd fall foul of the EPA if I used them as backings.... I know I should probably contact the EPA direct but don't wanna have to hand 'em over if it's a no-no to possess them....a mate found 'em in hi...

tighten it up lefty loosy righty tighty ...maybe go to the hardware store to buy the right bit for a screwdriver.....posi drive , security bit, phillips, hex head....

Back in pommie land I was at a re inactment once and had a ball with a sling...we lobbed small new potatoes at the enemy ....there were many many bruises ....

Gotta be the techniglue then...btw I've heard mention of bow tuf ??? what is that ???

G'day Mateys One issue i've found with west system epoxy is migration of the resin in the mix into the material that is to be bonded, btw I work in boat building and repair, this migration will result in failure of the joint or bond due to a layer of resin starvation either side of the cured epoxy i...

I gotta shb too....I used to unstring after every trip as they were few and far between...but lately after buying one of my young fellas a bow it stays strung....he's dead keen and we go out nearly every week end...

I go for the thorn proofs in a cold winter..oiled cotton..I find that any synth fabric makes too much noise...When I was a kid in the UK the gamekeepers wore it over tweed jackets and trousers with wool socks and flannel shirts. There is a cotton fabric used for flight suits...pilot ditches in the o...
