Hi all

Does anyone else use the forums at www.australianhunting.net? I have not been able to connect for several days, wondering if it is just me or others have the same problems.

Ian

Your not alone mate.

From the Aushunt site, (curtesy of Edwennink):

Extract from an Email from Mad Mick...

"The server running AHN looks like it may finally have died mate, the guys are working on it at the moment, but I have no idea how long or even if they can get it going again. There is a new box on the way, but it will be a couple of weeks before its up and running..."

Thanks for the info, guess I will go and have a look at Aushunt whilst I wait for AHN to reappear. Are there any other good Australian hunting/shooting forums?

A few are over here....taking shit.

AHN is back up and running, for those that are interested.

I just tried to post something on the site but it did'nt want to play, it must be up but not well.

Looks like it's down again. Probably the server spell checker and swearing eliminator being totally confused by the new "work-around" lingo that Aussies use. Shite that's a farking shame!

Yeah, according to Mick it's rooted again, but he's hopeful they'll get it and running again in a couple of days...

Yawn!

I was laughing at Gryph's comment seeing he was banned there. I commented quite a bit about his banning at the time.

Poor old gryph hahaa,well i have to say the banning was a blessing in disguise as i now spend most of my net time on a forum that is comprised of hunters and hardly a keyboard wanker amongst them..quite a few of the fellas have said much the same thing so the yawn was truly fair dinkum,yeehaa! and your own forum is the leader in its own field too Nitro.

did u get banned from australian hunting gryph?? what for?

Probably because he is a real hunter & shooter and not a flamin armchair expert or "know-it-all' wanker like a lot of them that claim to shoot the latest short stop eargersplitten magnum.

I always have troubles with some because they don't believe that I still shoot, and have shot competitively for near 40 years. But I can smile when I look up and see State, National & lastly a World trophy on the treasure shelf

Exacory BAW

When the twit banned gryphon they probably banned one of the most active hunters on the forum.

Let's face it John(Gryph),you're not the easiest guy to live with.LOL

Some might even venture to say you're very opinionated.

Ok Shaun and in your 402 posts here you have been opinionated also,prime example above!...get real mate,is there some sort of international law that states a person cant be opinionated?
I can tell you straight out that with the amount of opinion i have accrued over a lifetime of hunting it allows me to sort out the wheat from the chaff...and if some one that dosent know something can learn by anothers teachings or opinion they will often benefit.
You know i have been posting lots of live (and dead ) sambar pics elsewhere as my "opinion" is welcome there.I dont bother posting here much these days as there are many here whose opinion and the amount of actual hunting that they do is very limited.
And you know every post on all these net forums is usually some pricks opinion...dont start throwing shit at me mate take a look in your own back yard,i havent even gone back through your previous posts for an example of you showing your opinionated viewpoint...there is no need to as your opinion may not be worth two knobs of goat shit! Thanks anyway for your opinion SHAUN

hmmm. did u arc up like that over little things on ahn too???

Have absolutely nothing against any cartridge or calibre, all are interesting or challanging in their own way; do have a problem with the hype that comes with them and the experts that have had a single shot of a mate's rifle, then condemn the thing or otherwise.

You will note that I never comment on anything that I don't own, including SSM, WSM, RUM's, 204 Rugers or 17HMR's.

As for Gryph ver Easy, every single person on this earth is opinionated in one way or another and deserves to be heard, it is what we as the receivers of that opinion, do with the information that seperate grown intelligent men from immature grizzle asses!!!!

Let's face it John(Gryph),you're not the easiest guy to live with.LOL

You must be very quiet and meek SHAUN i havent noticed you around since you moved in and living with me!

hmmm. did u arc up like that over little things on ahn too???

As if that warrants an answer,typical post from one that hasnt got anything decent to write about....hmmm, be great when you are back with your brethren "over there"

Oh yeah,then he gets really abusive,LOL.Gryph can't help himself,starts swearing and sending threatning emails/PMs etc......and so....

And you wouldnt know of any of those alleged emails now would you SHAUN if the germs at ahn hadnt posted them ...under their charter such posting wont be tolerated,yet all of a sudden mine were allowed to be posted contavening the rules? Hmmm read below...


When you throw some shit you have to expect some to come back to you.

SHAUN boy if you are going to do a biography seeing as you know me so well get the facts right before you jump to the bullshit conclusions that you have....you really dont know what was going on behind the scenes with myself and the gods at ahn now(obvious to those that do know). Oops back with an editing job re:
just not into polite conversation....very sad.


Hmm another quote that dosent get to the mark...have you ever spoken to me,have you ever had a private email from me?do you know me? well HTF can you be such a frign expert all of a sudden?Ah you probably have a degree in physology OF COURSE! thats it...i will now be analysing each and every one of your future posts too so i can comment on someone that called himself far canal(fucknhell) for those that didnt know....great web nameand the last word.is haha

Have you actually hunted anything or just spent all that energy on the keyboard?

just a couple of bunnies with a 22lr!!. Dont have time to hunt with all the posting I do on here.

I’m actually from that board and hunt 3 or 4 days of the week at the moment until the picking season starts but all I have to do is walk out the back door with a gun in hand and about 50 rounds of ammo. But a lot of those guys at AHN don’t live in rural areas and or have many other commitments such as families or work at best they only can get out once in a blue moon. But hey at least they want to hunt picking on them for their lack of time committed to the field is a bit low “but I have a few suspicions on a couple there†.Like BAW I’m not into a FAT fetish I still use a 45-70 most of the time

Mate i have read plenty of your posts elsewhere,my advice is to be nice and i will be nice..its fairly simple stuff but bite back when prodded, otherwise i`m just as nice as the rest!

Hows that missfiring Stirling 22 mag going?

Suppose I my as well throw my zacks worth in. I don't know gryph's personally but I've read many of his post here and on ahn and I can't remember anytime he was abusive on his first post just reply's with the facts when someone else arks up.
I rarely post anymore on ahn as there is so many armchair expert hunters on there and I got pissed off when someone asks for advise or help and when I post all these "experts" jump in and put you down,
F(^K me I'll give you an example

1)A novice Sambar hunter asks a question like what's the "best" cal. to use and the answer is anything which is legal and you can handle with confidence, F*^k me simple, but then again the "experts" jump in with bazooka's.

2) I posted a question several weeks ago on ahn regarding a large stag taken in Elidon by a friend of a friend, well where he shot it (on the shore) I had a reply that he was a poacher, piss off!

3) I found a nice (head) dead arse shot stag and posted a photo of it on ahn to show what happens with a ill placed shot and again the experts jumped in and said it was poached off private land and that's with me not even mentioning where I found it only that farm land was about half a klm away.

There are some dinky die shooters on ahn but the site has changed from the old days and these days I can't be bothered answering the wankers when they doubt me. I'm no Sambar expert or handloader but I know my shit and have taken my share of stags and meat animals for over 30yrs, I haven't even take a stags for a couple of years but I did take a meat hind last year and I think that's the way I want it now, getting to old for all this crap now, take it easy all, and Gryphon if you read this keep doing ya thing mate I enjoy your posts and photos....if I remember sometime ago you asked me (going to shout me haha) a beer sometime send a pm mate time I met another real hunter...Cheers

Ah just woke up from an arvo snooze on the couch (started my toil at 6am) and switched on the computer and found that someone else with some nouse made a post...Tracks you summed it up very well with your assessment of that site...or at least a lot of its keyboard experts...i found exactly the same thing on there,its no crime to be a novice either but i thought that a good way to learn was to walk in the shadow of those that had some score on the board not to spruike all and everything about something of which you knew nothing or barely nothing...ramble on Griff someone will come back at you again...OH well,such is the net!

That post regarding that deer shot in the arse? I read the rubbish that you received at the time.

The PM is coming,and the beer is cold!

Tracks...i tried a pm but the forum box came up with...

You know one of the guys quickest to start throwing insults, abuse and foul language is the guy with the quotation highlighted above.

When one is an administrator of a forum, you MUST practice what you preach on your own forum.

As for Gryph's banning on that site, it wasn't all out in the open, but unfortunately I can't reveal the details of some "semi"-private comments.

And it wasnt as bad as they said (banning reason) they had a hidden agenda that also involved some other people from that site....
