Saluki Ibex Christened....

#1 Post by Guy Layton » Thu Oct 20, 2011 6:25 pm

Hi All,

I thought all might like to have a look at a nice boar I took with the new Saluki a few weeks ago....!

I figured that the pictures may tell the story better then I could have....!!! :biggrin:

Cheers Guy...

Great photos Guy! Well done on blooding the Ibex! That boar has great character - rough looking bugger!

Wow! That is an incredible sequence of photos! Well-done!
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

Hi All,

Hi Jeff, I think Kev was using a Nikon Finepix...???? I not really up to date on cameras... does that sound right...??

Your right Jeff, the boar didn’t know I was there... but he knew that there was something amiss.... he had a little look in my direction... that when I knew I had to take the shot and not push any closer.... from memory it was from about 18-20m...

Thanks mate, the blood was pumping, but not as much as normal... I was too bloody cold and wet..! :lol:

Thanks mate, the bow is SWEEEEET...! I am really enjoying shooting it...! I had a ball with it down a Wisemans ferry shoot last week... 8) The arrowmaster I have been using now for 3 years... I love it...! It was perfect for that particular hunt as we had loads of rain and my fletches were all kept perfectly dry... 8)
Macca wrote:Awesome Guy, as others have indicated, nice sequence of pics. Nice wooly pig, what area did you shoot him in?
Hi Macca, As we have all noticed the boar is a bit of a woollie bugger, you would think he is from down the snowy's... but no, he was taken in the mountains a couple hours not far from where I live... 8)

The Bow really did you justice Congrats mate :mrgreen: The expression on your face does say it all.
You had a great hunting partner, Kev prides himself on perfection, Man what a hunt that must have been, now saved in colour. I have seen Kevs mounts its gonna look fantastic, man you gotta post it.

I happened to be in Bathurst on the Thursday of the hunt and you copped some nasty rain and hail :shock:

Thanks mate, the boar was keeping close guard on an in season sow... there were two young boars also wanting a shot at his title, so when I flicked an arrow into him, his attention went to the two young boars.... luckily for me...!! 8)

Hi Macca,

Yeah... your right....! I have never hunted down that way before, but when I head down the south coast and go through Goulburn, it is very similar country...
