another goat hunt

#1 Post by kerrille » Tue Oct 07, 2008 6:17 pm

Last week me and my 2 boys Tristan and Liam went camping for 4 days getting there on Wednesday after no success wed and Thursday we met a bloke from kynton who had brought a wheel bow and wanted to go out for a shot so i invited him out on Friday and after much walking and running i rounded up a nice billy for him to shoot and he was rapt his first kill with a bow [sorry no pics yet i hope he emails them up to me] and about 1/2 hr later i got a nice nanny with my recurve my first kill with this bow. Now all i got to do is take out my Mongol and see what i can do with that.heres a few photos of my yaks ,goats coming down for a drink the boys having a bath :shock: and was it cold :shock: :lol: :lol: and me at home scraping my goat skin

Well done Nev!!! :D

You're a lucky man. I've often thought about how great it would be to be able to combine kayaking and bowhunting in the one trip. They're both so much fun. I like your 'yaks'. :wink:

I love the photo of the goats coming down to water. The other photos are good too.

It sounds like you had a great trip. :wink:

There is no use focusing on aiming if you don't execute the shot well enough to hit what your are aiming at.

Well-done!
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

not yet rod but she will be. thats the main reason i go down there is so i can get a feed.
because i had my boys out with me ,then the tourist turned up i couldn't go out on my own like i usually do, but seeing their faces and that bloke gettin his first kill with a bow man thats what its all about i recken.
