Things seemed to have slowed down some.
Anybody been hunting? I hav'nt been out this year yet. We had a crappy wet season but the grass is still very tall. Gary Hall has been out and about and has scored a few boars, but has worked hard for them.

Seen quite a few snakes about, mostly childrens and olive pythons, have seen a few browns and one orange naped snake (or moon snake) and a brown tree snake which was a cool looking fella.

Mate !Please!!!!!!!!!! send send some of that rain down here to the Finders Rangers .I'ts as dry as a Lime,Burners Boot! I'm probarly one of the Lucky ones. Iv'e Shot my Quota Of Roos for the year & towards the end they had no condition on em at all. That was up around Woomera!So I'm just bumming round the farm & Culling Goats on several nieghbours Properties

I'm going on a goat shoot this weekend,getting ready for opening morning of duck shooting.

Top Prd Good luck with the ducks & give the goats Curry enjoy

I'm off to Goodooga on the 1st for a dog / gun hog hunt for 10 days. Should have some pics to post.

Fenn sounds great How long you going for? and what breed of dog are you taking?

Geez, am I glad somebody said something, I was starting to think things had dried up
Bakes, do you guys get the childrens python up there, all I ever see in Sydney are those dirty bloody red belly blacks. Don't they stink after a couple of days hanging on the fence!!!!!

Have you many rabbits down your part of the country?
Has the Calici knocked them about much?
I seem to recall that in some desert areas there were heavy concentrations of rabbits?

Family duties have kept me busy for the past few months managed to have two days away in N.S.W over Easter shot some foxes etc. but no pigs....................to dry.

Has the Calici knocked them about much?

APB Down here these days its a case of Rabbits wot Rabbits? The Calici was like nothing I've ever seen before or since it was a vertaly over night plague.One day there were Rabbits everywhere the next coupeses every where! it had to be seen to be belived. It shut down the Rabbit industry in 6mths from is release!When times were hard in the Roo Industry we always new we could fall back onto Rabbits but not any more.The funny thing is it never seemed to affect Hares.

im getting ready to have a bit of a look at some sambar in fact was going to go out last night but got cought up with the chain saw and wood splitter!!!

Childrens, olive and black headed pythons are the most common in my area.

G'day,
Managed to get away last weekend, got a nice Menil fallow buck, ? about 220DS, I will have to take it to the club scorer. Still planning the next trip for Sambar, have to get used to the new rifle.

Cheers, Dave.

Now a pic of the buck would be good to view,any more details at all?Heres a pic of a nice one.

Amazing re the rabbits down there!
In NZ it has had patchy effect with one gully wiped out and then two gullies over teeming again?
They have not been "wiped out" by the calici over there.
Maybe the strain that was smuggled into NZ lost some of the initial virulance?

Thats a good one Gryph!

Calici was released around Lithgow but it didn't have much effect either. Perhaps with good food and water the rabbits don't move around enough to spread it?

That looks like a very nice stag. Need a white one for my wall.

gryphon 1 "Holy Big Palms Batman" is this bloke still passing on his progeny or is he rotting away, headless, in some paddock with the wedgetails eating backstrap for dinner
Did he end up as a trophy? and if so, how big did he go?

In late March I had a great time as the reds were roaring non-stop in the brisbane valley. I went from 3X3 to 3X3 until I got a 4X4, seems that was the best you could get. You never know when there roaring but I struck it when all of em were.

Two of us shot around 50 goats over the weekend,I shot these 9 less than 5mins from the car.

TP great! good score,good luck to you ! My lad is still leading me on tallies at the moment.(be glad when school goes back)

Just back from NZ , 14 year old son shot his first couple of deer, one a 6 pointer, will post some pics when I have more time

Wazza ! Most exelent Send my congradulations to your Son Good for him

I saw something on the news tonght. That camels in OZ were going to get culled by shooters in choppers. They should give you a ring and let you have something to do.
