The usual
Gday ,
Went hunting on the weekend
heres the photos
First morning came across a few wallows like this one,
plenty of fresh pig crap and tracks and diggings but no pigs.
That was until I had just had about a 5 minute conversation with Steve on the 2 way about how we'd found bugger all and taken 3 steps towards camp and there was a grunt coming from the grass not 10 metres from me.
With a tree in the way I took about 3 more steps and drilled one into this fella.
He came crashing towards me and I came face to face with him.Thought he was gonna have a go,I had another arrow ready and shot him again from behind the only tree.That sent him into a roll to the bottom of the hill.
Steve got this Billy in the mean time somewhere over the hill
Steve sharpening some heads
Heres one the property owner got us to skin,hitting the ports by this stage
Found this snake skin
Some pigs on the hill
I am 10 metres away with a good wind I left these ones alone
A bit of scenery
Wombat hole under the grass tree
Heres a big sow that I thought was a boar
As you can see the grass is long,it was feeding,its back was arched
More pigs in the grass
There is about 5 in this pic
Steve got this young one with the Black Swan
And then he got this one
not bad
I paced it out....25 metres and dead on for this one
We bought back as much meat as we could carry and had a full esky with pork and gun shot rabbits to load into the freezer last night
It was a great weekend
I might add Steve got awfully close to nailing a really good boar.Its coming mate dont worry about that.
He also saw about 4 good stags and I saw a few does and 1 good stag but they are still proving too elusive.I will get one eventually.
We could hear one making its burping sound and we tried but could not locate it.
Hope you like the photos
Jeff

Re: The usual
Nice pics Jeff. You must have put a lot of thought into the thread name .
The pig Jeff was skinning we had for dinner and I must say the taste was nice but the chef over cooked it I reckon. What a way to spend a weekend, action packed. Steve

good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from poor judgement
Nothing is easy. That's why it's called hunting, and not killing

Re: The usual
Fantastic, Boys! Looks like a great trip! Terrific pics, too.
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!

Nice work mate, Steve and yourself defiantly cleaned up on the pigs... It must be a top property...!
The picture of Steve and the billy looks like some open country... I am sure it would have been a tough stalk.. well done...!
Cheers Guy..

Re: The usual
Hey Guy, yeah it was open country but more a case of luck as the Billy was harassing a nanny and she led him right to me and broadside at 10 meters so I wasn't one to look a gift horse in the mouth as they say. SteveGuy Layton wrote:Jeffro,

Thanks Guy,
It is a good place there but to get a good boar out of there is pretty hard.Your lucky if you find one.
Did you end up ordering a huntsman?
