Tough huntin' in the heat mate. It's a shame ya didn't get that boar but there is plenty of the year left to try again.

Yes mate,it was draining,i didn't prepare myself properly,if i went out next week i'de do things a lot differently ,but i'de have to have a punch up with Jack firsty,she recons i'm getting too old for that heat...,....i'm not old yet

[blu-dog]

That's a shame mate. But good on ya for getting out there and doing the hard yards!

[bigbob]

Not the best of weather there Rod at the moment. I'd wimp out right now.Cant believe you haven't found anyone to hunt with.

[Gringa Bows]

Thanks Paul , thanks Bob, i have a very small group of people that i like to hunt with and the stars didnt align for them plus i like my own company so i dont mind either way, may have to get you out for a run in the near future mate

[longbow steve]

Good on yah for getting out there in this heat Rod. Shame about the Boar. 42 degrees in the shed , you would be hard pressed to stay hydrated. Is there any water/creeks out there? Cheers Steve

Hi Rod,

I feel your pain mate.... I went hunting Tuesday for a four day solo trip.... Let's just say I was home by 11pm Tuesday night....
I walked most of the day and it felt like I'd walked for three...!

42 degree heat and big ass hills don't sit well with me...

Cheers Guy

The heat is harsh mate it sucks the life out of you, being a butcher i work in the cool all day and in and out of cold rooms so i don't do so well when it gets over about 32 33 degrees

[Outbackdad]

You shoud have said hi on your way past.

[Gringa Bows]

Thanks Steve,theres a little river and a few dams on this place,i did plan to walk the river but it was too hot ........yes Guy that heat takes the fun out of it Dan 32-33deg or less would have been good Eddy by the time i get to Dalby and give my uncle a quick visit i'm eager to get to camp and set up

[bigbob]

Thanks Paul , thanks Bob, i have a very small group of people that i like to hunt with and the stars didnt align for them plus i like my own company so i dont mind either way, may have to get you out for a run in the near future mate

Careful there Rod I might take you up on that! Be good, Razor against Gringa!

Hey Rod,

I narrated your story to Steve who was in another part of the house, and then when I'd finished reading I said "geez he must have taken a lot of food to be cooking all night and again the next day....." Steve stuck his head around the door and said very wryly "no Petal, he cooked, not he cooked !!
.. ...oh yeah .....

the wimsy of me....

cheers

No matter Rod,next trip youll probably get 3 or 4 and not lose an arrow

[hazard]

Nice effort Rod, heat is a real killer and knocks the wind out of you.

Taking it slow doesn't seem to help much, I reckon you will have a ripper trip next time!

You crazy bugger! 'Ol Rod must think I need to lose weight 'cause he tried to convince me to join him on this one ( We usually hunt together) but I told him "no chance" and that he's as mad as a bag of cats!!
I like to have short holidays in the bush that involve some hunting, but some blokes think it's an S.A.S mission! ...

[rodlonq]

Gotta admit your a committed hunter Rod, walkin' around in weather like this, I tips me hat to ya. I was havin' trouble walking the length of the shed today. This time of year it's OK to hunt where you can drive to within a few hundred yards of the dams and waterholes and just sneak in for a look. Even that can get ya cookin' in this weather, but at least you can have a cool drink waitin for ya in the vehicle Bugger walkin' miles between spots.

Sue, you crack me up must be never a dull moment in your camp!

Cheers........ Rod
