Re: Bow & Machine Hunting

Longclaw, I can understand why one would appreciate Coach's version, not only for the human side of giving sympathy for the ravings of a delusional man, but often fiction is more interesting than fact. :shock: As for me suffering heat exhaustion and therefore talking to goats, why wouldn't I?, after...

A few pics of this arvos bushwalk...a successful hunt ie the meat is why my dogs love me, well I assume they do? :D

Blame the Border Billy!

Although not one of my favourite shots, a front on shot at 18m with 70# of bow and 700grns of arrow tipped with a Tusker Aztec left none of the arrow visible and destroyed this bloke's heart and lung etc etc and brought him to an abrupt and permanent halt...more pet food :) http://i4.photobucket.com...
