Steve there is another forest track that gets you to a more secluded area about 3ks downstream.Was the sign for the hole still there?was there evidence of people going there a lot?

Yeah Steve it still looks the same I know exactly where that rope swing is.
theres some big ones in there.
Live worms used to work ok but the live grasshoppers were the go
Did you camp at the hole?

Hey Axe I saw a heap of them near the river on the way into town there.Must be a lot of them around your area.
It would be good to see you on here more regular again like you used to.
Cheers
Jeff

Same as you Guy only I plan not to miss this time

I think ill let the shoulder work itself off over time as opposed to removing it now but the strop is definitely the way to go. I tried it on a broadhed that I had sharpened by the razors edge plus butchers steel combo and they definitely come out razor sharp with that method.Paul Mayall showed me i...

Thanks for that Jindy,I was hoping i'd get a response from you. I have not removed the shoulder but I understand what your talking about. I got a bit of wood and some suede from a welding apron and glued it on.Then I applied some of the buffing stick to it and have got much better results already. h...

I have a puma bowie 104/rc knife made in germany,im not sure what steel they have but I have never been able to get it shaving sharp. The best I can get it is when I held the knife on the bench and used the stone to shape the edge then hit it on the diamond steel. If I use the good quality old F Dic...

I have only shot them with the brush rests.They work and so I didn't need to try other methods.

Gday Jase, Ebay can be good,if the bow does not arrive or is crap you get your money back with paypal. I have bought many bows from it and had no problems although lately there does not seem to be many good ones on there. You wont go wrong with these brands check mate bob lee wapiti black widow kota...

Just before leaving I reset the yabbie traps and went back to pack up. It was only about an hour and a half before I checked the traps in this different dam. The other dam I left them overnight and got nothing. After an hour and a half I got these http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c290/djjeffa/P1020...

Stickshooter Its a Huntsman Recurve made by one of your fellow Kiwi's here in in OZ Mark Kimber he has a website.It is an awesome bow. Cheers Jindy and Jeff. I had to go another k up the creek and head back up the mountain to get back to the car and on the way I found this mob of bees attached to th...

I followed them for 50 metres or so and they crossed the creek making noise on the river pebbles.I crossed aswell and being only about 15M away the lead sow heard some noise as the stones moved. She propped her head up having a sniff and then they moved out of the creek into the grass. I moved quick...

On the weekend I went for a solo hunt well solo except I took my dog aswell. On the saturday I started out by taking a different route to the spot I last saw pigs by going along the top of the mountain and then dropping into the spot. During the course of that I found a mob of reasonable billies whi...
