Recently back from a chital hunt out of Charters Towers , so heres a couple of pics and a link to the story posted on another forum.

Forgive me - I aint smart enough to know how to post the same story on multiple sites without having to re-type it ...

I bet the farmer is pissed you shot his Dog

Nice Stag

so everyone else asks ...

The dingo was more exciting than the stag to bag.

Right click-highlight-click on copy then paste on new page. Easy as mate

Well done on the hunt as well Muzza.

thats easy for you to say mate - I cant even set my alarmclock on my own .....

Hey well done on the Chital.
Did you shoot the black dog (In picture), as well....

No , Tim - I didnt shoot the border collie in the background - he doesnt look like a GSP so didnt deserve a bullet...

Muzza! Quick! Over your left shoulder... the black and white one is about to get away!

Just kiddin' ya...


Thanks for sharing the pics. We'd love to hear the story too.

but it doesnt copy the pics - and i cant be bothered with reloading them all into the article ....

If you want to read the story you will have to click on the link originally posted . Sorry ...

Pretty country, muzza. Thanks for the story.

Looks like it would be tough to keep your head up while walking.






And what the hell is this thing!?!? Looks like a porcupine, but I'd NEVER pick up the latter like that.

Its an echidna , a spiney , burrowing marsupial ant-eater. the spines all flow one way so if you fold them back against the body you can pick them up without stabbing yourself. One of the more intrigueing aussie native species.

Those rocks are evrywhere. Its like the whole area was a series of bubbling mud pools and the rocks were pushed up and flowed to the edge of the pool. You find circular "clearings" with rocky perimeters , as well as hillocks of rocks , and semi-vertical cliffs of rocks between the various plateau/plains. Really weird , obviously created by volcnic action way back when.

That pic of the Burdekin River is pretty cool too.

Question..How do Echidna's have sex ? Answer ...Very carefully.

They have spines in all sots of places - in & out. So they negotiate. It goes like this....

"If you prick me, I won't poke you"

"If you let me poke you, I won't prick you....I mean poke with my prick..not the other way..."

She says "If you poke me carefully with your prick, I won't prick you ..I won't shed it..honey...or I'll make your balls look ..you get the picture sweet heart."

I didn't know that you were an Aussie.

Nah mate - not an aussie - tho they did beg me to stay at the airport when i was leaving . Apparently my leaving the country was going to lower the Australian national IQ considerably
