Latest Trophies - Heavy Pictures

#1 Post by Jack Spinks » Wed Apr 30, 2014 6:38 pm

Hi

Id like to just show you what can happen when you branch off and discover new properties, although it took me ages to take the drive the now 2.5hr drive flies by. Ive always wanted to hunt near ivanhoe NSW and after my brother hooking me up we have now successfully hunted the same property twice and so far this are our best trophies.. All shot from ground blinds except Max Preece black billy and one of mine. We normally head up for the wknd and have an absolute ball with some great mates and put some great game on the deck. My Pb now sits at 37.5" after smashing my last PB by 7" and John Gorringe with his 34" billy smashing his last PB by 10" +..
i hope you enjoy the pics, moral of the story dont do what i did and hunt the same place for years, get out and travel youll love the benefits.

happy hunting

jack spinks

The old faithful samick devastator, my favourite bow absolutely adored it.. Had a huge billy at 15m at full draw and she snapped completely in half unexpectedly.. **** went everywhere

Some serious Billy's!! Great job on the kills and the photography also :)

Will you get another devastator or something else?
I reckon the old girl (riser) would look good mounted with a cracking set of horns above her :mrgreen:

Yeah I don't think I could get another devastator due to comparing the both.. Have a widow at home and a stalker on it's way

great work. shame about the bow.
The degree of satisfaction gained from the accomplishment of a goal is directly proportional to the hardships and challenges overcome in order to achieve it.

Jack
Sad to hear about the bow, but $hit does happen eh :roll:

Getting a foot on a new property takes some doing these days, lucky break and payed off quite a bit , well done

PB's aren't always knocking on your door but going that extra mile, well the game on the ground says it all.

We need more posts like this, awesome stuff mate!

As a Curver myself have you considered a Flatline?

Jack if you glue it up and wrap it in fibreglass mat and epoxy, it will be strong again
