BakesWhats your favorite form of hunting?
Mine's fox whistling! I love it. You don't need expensive stuff, its challenging and the little buggers are everywhere....except the NT

geekayFox whistling is(was) a lot of fun as was howling up dingoes and wild dogs but that was a while ago. I really like; enjoy, walking up whatever I'm after mostly in pastoral SE Queensland. Once one gets away from the property roads it is relatively easy to stalk to within 50> 100 yards of most ferals. I also cull roos over crops to keep the cocky happy.

Bad Ass WallaceHappiness is a comfortable blind, a predator call, an accurate rifle and enough ammo to blast every goddam pussy I see in the bush.
In the absence of pussy, I like to backpack in, camp where the sun goes down and just walk the Aussie landscape all day shooting pests as and when I find them.

IEATROOSI rekon spotlighting is the most fun you can have with your pants on. Long range shooting (400+) for goats/pigs comes close.

gryphondeer hunting is tops for me,not just the shot but the whole shebang.....great country,clean water,great camp sites,great conversation (bullshit)fantastic views and great big bloody stags etc etc.
Whistlin` foxes or catching them with staghounds is a great pastime too for sure,knocking ove r a big boar has its merits some days too,even the humble bunny can make a great day out for the gun or rifle shooter either with the long range gear or an ordinary 22...its ALL good to me for sure.

HIPPYHUNTERBakes mine is very close hunting I have a marlin 45-70 cut down and strapped to the front of me I hunt in semi rainforest that borders on national park nice size pigs to. Lot's a frantic heart racing action considering you might come across 10 pigs and you only have five shots.

Bad Ass WallaceCan't you darn northerners get two with one shot? The Mareeba boys are always tell me what terrific shots they are!

HIPPYHUNTERAhh Mareeba boys I'm not too far from there I was born in Atherton a stone throw away. I'll tell you one thing the hunters up here are so dedicated that it's like going to church "Oh father bless our pigs, hog deer, etc etc". One thing they are good at is f-class "long range shooting" the target shooters are very good the hunters are better than most but what do you expect when they go though a thousand shots or more a year.

MarrakaiI'm happiest with a day-pack on my back, working the flood-plain margins, or trekking into the remoter sections of the ubiquitous dry hill woodland in the Top End. English double on my shoulder, boars and buff on the menu, mercury at 100 old-fashioned degrees or preferably more! Marvellous stuff!
