Rolling hills
Posted: Fri Jan 16, 2015 7:17 pm
So I've spent a week near Melbourne house siting for a mate who has a small block off rolling hills, so before I even packed clothes the bow and pack was sitting in the back seat ready for some fun.. I climbed a hill and perched up against a tree and began squawking away on my whistle and straight away two foxes were coming in for the kill, first one came to 5m copping a shaft through the chest and the second who stopped 25m out caught another shaft resulting in two dogs from the one stand.. Stoked
I moved on and 100m up I noticed a couple of foxes fighting over a Lamb leg, so I dropped down into the creek and kissed them in, I pulled the first one up at 4m and drove a shaft through his noggin which was the only part visible through the grass, the second came a bit slower but stopped at 6m and took one down the front of the chest.. Holy, another fox double.. So a double fox double!!
The day before I took a ride along a hill and sat down for a whistle but caught two hares cruising around the grass, hare was a critter I was yet to take with a bow but as I used the tall grass and wind to my advantage even the poor hare copped a judo head from 10m resulting in my first kill of species.. As well as topping a bunny near the house I was thinking I've done my dash and it won't get better..
How I was wrong, as I created the same hill as the foxes the next day I spotted a white object working its way along the ridge, a look through the binoculars revealed a cool looking cat, I pressed up against a bush and squeak him into 4m before sending a woodsman through the length of its body.. These hills sure have been good to me..
Happy hunting
