Well what unfolded was a lesson, just not sure who learnt the most
Was it the Pups on Hunting & Traditional archery, or was it the Elders on smart cheeked, quick mouthed, pains in the backside pups It was a great trip, awesome country, seen some top game. I didn't get the camera out enough as I was so busy trying to come good on proving my worth to the ones who had been training us
Opportunities were a plenty, but closing the deal seamed impossible. The wind was tough, it swirled constantly. The choice between slow & steady & beating the wind before it gave you up was tough.
Now I hunted with Keith for this trip, we covered just under 30km for the 3 days we hunted. Not bad for the mountainous country we were in.
I have never been with in 10 - 15 metres of so much game & not get a shot away
The terrain was so thick, you could see the bristles on the pigs backs, but no shots on offer. If it wasn't that, it was the wind giving you away as you close the gap. But that's Bow Hunting 
I came home empty handed, but had a corker of a trip, 15 metres from a Massive Fallow stag, With in 5 metres of good boars. 10 Metres from a Shetle-pig (a cross between a Shetland pony & a pig, you really got to see one of these things to believe it) I had piglets crawling over my feet why I waited for mum to poke her head out. Countless amounts of pigs growl & grind from bush's no more than 5-10 metres away as you walked past. It really was a hoot.
Seen some awesome goats, probably some of the best heads I have seen in the wild with my own eyes
I will stop now, I won't belt on to much more, I will add a few comments with each pic & I am sure the boys will chime in with a few stories as we go.
Thanks Rod, Keith & Shanks for a memorable trip & look forward to many more hunts in the future.
Not sure what these birds are, but we seen them on a dam on the way in.
This bloke was in the owners trap & was not in the mood for me to stand there & take several photo's of him (he was going to have his way with me if he could just get hold of me)
Scored this pic of a (well I think it is) King Parrot while working a creek.
I sent Keith in for the dinner shot, Lucky we got some steak back at camp
I only had the 75-300mm lens when we hit the top of this hill, so no nice pano shots, but a glimpse of what we seen
The pigs down there are tough as nails, eating these Prickly pear just proves it
Currawong ????
Some little tackers we spotted while searching for mum
They were about 6" high.
While I am asking Questions, what are these prickly mongrel plants ? They have inch long spikes on them & seam to be at the right height to give you a massage to the nether regions like only a spastic Chinese acupuncturist can give
Yes, it wasn't pleasant.
A few pigs we spotted from up high
So Keith made his move
Only to wait to long trying to get 2 with one arrow
Home for 4 days
The mighty Roger that took us there & back.
As I sat watching over a dam just soaking in what it is I love about going bush
You had no questions where the boys had been getting into it
We got the drop on a Fallow doe, but the cattle gave us up not long after. Keith gave it a red hot go though
Look hard, there is a deer in this photo 
Blown up to prove it
Not sure what this fella is, but he caught my attention as we were wandering through the bush.
Keith did his best Grim-Reaper pose with some added tomato sauce on the tomahawk for effect
