Normally when things go wrong we tend to keep it to ourselves.,however I remember a serious incident that occurred to me whilst hunting with a N.T. mate Jimmy Gillis and Ribtek in the mountain country out behind Wangaratta chasing those Samba. It was decided that Ribtek and Jimmy would hunt one cree...

Ole -silver is spot on in how to cook croc and being a very bland meat you can spice it up with your particular choice of spices and you only need to cook it a minute either side at the max. I don't eat the stuff as I work on the principal that if I don't eat croc, they may not eat me.

Hi nimrod I like the Jerky as well, its all good stuff, when doing a trip in South Africa we lived on biltong made from Kudu, Impala and even wart hog they were all good and I couldn't believe how much of it is sold in shops, some only sell biltong. This will give you a laugh at the mine the other d...

I don't have a problem with shooting horses when they are ferel and I have shot a lot with the rifle ,its Just my opinion that they shouldn't be shown in hunting magazines as horses are an animal that most persons are attached to. In respect to pain inflicted from an arrow we will have to agree to d...

Joel, we live in a society where the majority of persons buy every thing from supermarkets and all our meats are in packets all cut up and ready to cook, the majority of the good old butcher shops are gone, where you asked for a certain cut of meat and the butcher chopped that piece off the whole an...

Any one out there, that makes snags. Did a trip to South Africa a few years back and we got introduced to Boere Wors sausage, which is sold as one sausage in a coil and it fits into a medium sized fry pan. I was sent the recipe the other day and will have to get cracking and make some up and mine wi...

The current owner has stocked the place with many deer species and goats to set up his hunting safari es . and yes a lot are behind wire, in small areas but the rest of the p...

Has any one used American walnut, furniture grade to make a riser. I have not used it before as most of my bows have bubinga or local iron wood or blood wood handles.

We are getting away from the subject and some are getting a bit excited . So whats wrong with a good spray of deer urine its better than Mosy spray and why not walk in the cow manure if the deer are in the padocks where the cows feed, there you go Griffo you have the tricks enjoy your hunt. I will l...

All you hunters out there, wash your camo gear in an approved washing solutions or you will have that UV glow. I carry mine in a sealed plastic bag with some carb soda to take away scents then use no scent spray when I am ready to hunt deer, hunting hogs I dont bother, If the deer cant see me In ASA...

I like it

If you have ever hunted the Top End flood plains sqelching around in mud up to your knees it doesn't matter what colour you use, as those arrows bury deep and out of sight into mud or grass that is a couple of meters high. A fluro nock however is perfect that's all you see against the hog as it does...

Griffo At least twelve years ago ASAT camo gear was readily available in Australia. The distributor was Cammoflaugh Photo graphics in Horsham Victoria He had regular adds in the Australian Archery Journal. I got my first lot there and you could buy the cloth by the metre as I did and had a clothing ...

This bloke was fishing on a reef out of Darwin harbour, and to bring fish around he fed them a bit of burly. Whilst dishing it out a big cod rose to the side of the boat. Our old mate reached over to touch this magnificent fish and in doing so his very expensive Rolex struck against the edge of boat...

Jape I have used asat gear for years and I reckon the older it gets the better it is. The real test for whats best in camo clothing is to stand in font of some natural bush and take a black and white photo, or have a look through the viewer of a video camera that has black and white. The ASAT kills ...

Spare ribs. There’s nothing like a good spare rib a metre in length. I have had spare ribs from some fairly large bullocks and they have been great. When Jeff was up on one of his hunts in the tropical paradise of Darwin, stick bow hunter true to form was given the nod to take a young buff fo...

A couple of bow hunters were hunting up north and were given lodgings with the owners who operated a large piggery. They stayed for a week and were given bacon for breakfast ham for lunch and yes you guessed it roast pork for dinner at night well after having had this for a few days one hunter asked...
