Hey Guys, one of Ms AZ's friend's invited us to her farm in April. Her friend lives about an hour from Brisbane near Gimpy (I think that is the town). Anyway, she has some red deer on her property and said if I want to shoot, I am welcome to do so. She said the stags should be roaring in April.

I have been to OZ before, but borrowed a gun. I know it is not as easy to get a gun inside Australia as NZ. Any advice?

Also, I should probably hunt water buff while I am there - any advice/suggestions? I assume most fly to Darwin...

I have sent to you a PM.

Buffalo hunting may be possible but it may be too early with the wet season only finishing in March, early April. Many camps do not open till later in the season. April sounds like a grand time for a red stag and you will probably experience the "roar".

You can bring your own firearms, it may just take some paperwork.

Good luck and good hunting.

Howdy Ari-zona,

You will not be the first American to visit Gympie A lot of your forefathers went through there in the 1800's with gold fever.



Our home shooting range is just to the north of town.Gympie is two hour drive north from Brisbane(International Airport)

I live in Brisbane,Bad Ass just moved from here to Kingaroy,one hour west of Gympie.



We met Bakes there for a plink and a feed.I just hope you don't go on and on about yourself all day like him.

Yes,we noticed the hat.



Bad Ass'Sharps 50/70.

Have to advertise mate.....part of my contract as moderator

Is that a real headstone behind Bakes!?! Strange place for a shooting range if it is, would make paying your respects a lot more challenging!

Just a fake mate......I hope

Its a nice little range in some great country, nice people as well and a good time had. Didn't see Easy Rollins shoot however Hmmmmmm?????

BAW,

Are yawl talking red deer hunting or "dinosaur stoppers"?

sounds like you could outfit me without me having to drag a gun over there.

Interested if I go?

No problem! You will still have to get an international visitors permit to use or possess while here

okay, the ball and chain is on the phone now talking about her trip. She is going to WA as well as QL, but I don't have that much time to devote to idle banter and chatter.

I WANT TO KILL STUFF.

So Bad Ass, how are the stag in QL? Should I try and postpone our trip until the dry season so I can shoot a buffalo?

I'll even run you up there from the airport in Brisbane if BA will give me some carpet to sleep on.I've got to see this and get some photos.



Gympie is North East of BA's place on the Highway.
