The only deer meat in Australia that has real changes to quality because of rutting is fallow, and even then it isn't as big a drama as people make out. Fallow meat changes in quality during the rut because of the loss of condition of the deer. You also have to take care that you do not allow any of...

Hope everything goes well

They have a website with all the info you need

hunting on PUBLIC land has been suspended, there is no change to PRIVATE land hunting at all. You still need a licence to hunt deer.

awesome crop. you are going to be hard at them for a bit

Great hunt report, shame about the bow though

I use concrete blades a lot. Look for the big ones, at least 18 inches across. You can cut the knives out with a 4 inch grinder and a thin cut off blade. The steel is soft but good quality and you can just heat treat the blades when you finish using any recipe you like that suits 1095, L6 or any sim...

The declarations are time limited and have to be renewed from time to time. If you recall the original roll out was in at least 3 stages and so the re-declarations are following the same pattern.

Hammered! Great work

the folding bow looks sweet. Well shaped riser with limbs off the belly side

I don't see the slotted recurve as being very powerful. If indeed the draw has zero weight half way through the draw you would have a strange looking power curve for sure. Has anybody here ever shot one?

I looked up the law myself, but bear in mind I am no more indemnified to give you legal advice than that lady at DAFF..... NATURE CONSERVATION ACT 1992 - SECT 88 88 Restrictions on taking protected animal and keeping or use of unlawfully taken protected animal (2) A person must not take a protected ...

Hey Mick, I responded immediately to her via email thanking her for getting back to me so quickly with what info she could. I don't know what I've said here to make you feel like I've treated her unfairly or belittled her. In respect to a suggestion she would be lucky to remember her own name.... ,...

Admitting you don't know the answer to a question is not all that difficult, I have to do it all the time in my work. It appears that she did just that? Well she said ....... she wasn't sure regarding natives. Is it her job to track down who you should talk to? Or is the onus on you to find the rig...

How long you back for Tommo? Must be hard having your heart in two places

Surprisingly I received a reply from a DAFF vet with the daunting title of: "Senior Biosecurity Officer, Pest Animal Policy and Strategy Biosecurity Queensland" Sounds impressive :razz: Well she said feral animals are fair game (as long as local council didn't have any laws regarding it) ...

Loaded questions, and creative editing. Last night on the ABC the 7.30 report interviewed John Mumford and asked him "Is it possible to get a licence to hunt in a national park without ever having fired a rifle?", To which he replied "well, yes" and was promptly cut off before he...

My point on business reports is, why should a publically owned station bother with them if all the commercial channells run them religiously? See? Pointless pandering to the Right, simple as that. I don't gamble so they are irrelevent to me. : Just as a government must be a government for all a nat...

I'd also suggest that in the long view , the ABC is as corrupt and so very tainted with self interest that any difference between them and their commercial counterparts are in idealogy only. I saw a great example of this just last week. In the days following the shootings in Newtown the NRA kept qu...

No need to lecture me on the law Roadie - innocent till proven guilty yes, but not a good look - and GC honchos should be entirely above suspicion. It might be a set up with blokes falsely identifying themselves, but there is the issue of a GC vehicle. Unless that was faked. But then we have the gu...

hope it all goes well and you are up and about in no time flat

Yeah, that guy obviously has a bit of an agenda, but he did raise an interesting point.... None of the 27 native mammals that have become extinct since European settlement in Australia were wiped out purely by introduced predators like foxes and cats. Although predation is definitely a contributing...

You will soon run out of stuff to chip, bring it around to my place and double your fun LOL

To use a key guide to determine the species you need more info than the pic
Can you take a pick of the leaves and of the flowering stems, nuts and flowers if posible too.

Now we just have to get you started on maps.
This is the place to get tech info on maps, where to get them and how to install them. Just don't ask for free copies of commercial products or you will get the boot quick smart.
