Result of a goat hunt.

The black billy.

Dramatic 30 meter pretty much straight down shot put this billy down where he stood. Heart shot

Another one from the mob, 30 meters down hill, heart shot.

Down hill shots play havoc with me at the best of times let alone from 30m out...well done Ads...

Some good pics there ,, not as big as those WA ones are they

Sparra a 30 m straight downhill shot , depending on angle , would equate to about a 10 m shot

Thanks

I shot these billys as if they were 5 meters away, an hit pretty much spot on. It felt right and felt good, hope that doesn't sound disrespectful.

Nice work. What part of the country are you in these days?

Looks like you were into some rough country there Adam.

The scenery is a bit different from the west.

Hey buzz, living in Canberra now(mmm home). I was hunting out western nsw, border riverina and I have never seen it so green. Maybe times are a changing it seens most places are greening up, theres snow were it shouldn't be and rain were there usually isn't. Fingers crossed for a break in the drought.

A couple more

Oh , OK ,, I just saw in the Pic properties ,roryadampics124.jpg,, and assumed Rory was there , as well as I thought someone else must have taken your pic while glassing the country

My mistake .

That looks like good typical goat country mate. You've got to love hunting them in amongst the boulders and cliffs. It seems much more 'natural' than when you hunt them out west on the flat plains.

Great photos, as usual.

You picked a great time of year to return... "brisk" is about the most polite description of the weather that I can think of.

Yeah just a little trick in photograthy, you focus on the ground at the distance you want to be hold the button half way down position the camera press the button all the way in.

same with moving objects, just focus at there feet.

Yeah Buzz I absolutly love this weather, makes it easier climbing the mountains and just feels unreal when hunting.

Finally home again, That country looks pretty demanding, but spectacular to look at as well.Great photos ,how do the eastcoast Billies stack up compared to the WA goats ,are they a bit harder to put down or just harder to carry out

adam · #18 Post by **adam** » Sat Jun 16, 2007 8:34 am

Its kind of 6 one way clint, half a dozen the other.

east coast, cool weather hard country

west coast, stinking hot climate big country(large flat land)

east coast, hard to find trophys, hard to gain access

west coact, harder to find trophys, hard to gain access

both the same really, imo.

However I'd prefer to be hunting goats at my old properties in the north west Wa, then western nsw. But would prefer to hunt the mountains on the east coast then the hills on the west coast.

Screw it just hunt them all.
