High country Hunt ... Interested ?
I was thinking a getting a bunch together for a bit of a high country jaunt over winter down here in Vic for a few days ?
Chase a few Sambar around , have a big fire , tell convoluted and verbose hunting stories about the one that got away , complain about the cold, stump shoot ?
A few of us are already going but I thought I'd extend the invite .......

Re: High country Hunt ... Interested ?
Sounds like a great time is planned mate but high country and winter does sound very cold to a Queenslander. I think my travel dollars for hunting trips etc has already been allocated for this year I'm afraid. I'm sure it will be a great time for those who can make it.

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

Yeah Ben, it's been too long. I'm good mate.
Somewhere where the doggers can't go sounds good.

The degree of satisfaction gained from the accomplishment of a goal is directly proportional to the hardships and challenges overcome in order to achieve it.

Re: High country Hunt ... Interested ?
I'm interested, but can't quite make a full commitment yet, got a fair bit on the plate this year but might be able to squeeze a few days in. Dates and a location would go a long way in helping make a decision. Hope this works out, sounds like a of fun!
Re: High country Hunt ... Interested ?
Can't commit 100% Ben but am definately interested.
