The girls where very happy with their new arrows.

Since you mentioned Cobar... :) It's a bit further but there are goats and pigs a plenty in Grahway. Pigs even running around in daylight hours, which is the only S.F I have witnessed this in. Most are under such hunting pressure that they have become completely nocturnal. Happy to share that but do...

Weekend hunt in Wee Jasper

Afternoon,

About to head out for a weekend of chasing four legged things around on my two legs in Wee Jasper State Forest.
Hunting partner has cancelled due to an eye infection. If anyone is keen to catch up for a hunt or a beer around the campfire shoot me a PM.

Re: help wanted

Beau,

plenty of State forest around you - you need to look into getting your R license.
I often take people out (away down to Maragle next weekend) but my ute is full for the next trip.
Will keep you in mind for the next time we go out.
Cheers
