The Black widow I shot the black and white Billy with, was only delivered to my house two days before we left, set the nocking point to suit me and we are off hunting :biggrin:
I found this Stick insect on a bush next to the car

We had given up hunting as it was absolutely dead still and as I took the photo we could hear goats running away from us, just the right of where I took the photo. We also had a storm come thru one night that woke Mick and Bob as they thought the shearers quarters was going to blow away and Ken and myself slept thru it and did not hear a thing :lol: My Old man used to say, Could sleep under a barbwire fence in a thunder storm,
that's me :biggrin: . Matt
