Took the new bow for a drive up to our goat property. Lots of water around and heaps of feed. Not many opportunities unfortunately, plus wild dogs have moved in and are giving them a flogging.
I managed a wild dog at 12m in a cool dry creek. He didn't move from his bed. The 220gn Outback destroyed him. Was wrapped...
Also managed a young Billy, Shot near vertical down on him as he hid on a cliff face on the rivers edge.

Cheers People, I skinned and salted the dog and will endeavour to tan it down the track. Not sure if it will go on the wall or be made into a quiver. Either way it will be a reminder of my first kill with my bow.

Good job Muz, I bet that dog was hard to stalk.

Hey Ranger, I found him sleeping and that's where he stayed. I cut over a "S" bend in a dry feeder creek and he was sleeping in the sand 12m below me. I ducked down behind the crest, nocked an arrow, stepped forward and shot. All happened in about 5 secs. Got him down through the front of his chest.
There were other dogs around but couldn't get close to them.

Great hunting Muz, getting rid of some of those dogs is always a good thing.
