Trotted off into the hills for a look for a goat or two this afternoon , steep country covered in gorse so thick you have to crawl through ( like you would need a ladder to reach up high enough to kiss a rats arse ). Hookgrass seeds all over , except for the clever puttees , sticks and crap in my hair and down my neck and for what ? Not a bloody thing . Well , no goats anyway .

But all was not lost . The area is being tracked and trapped for pest control to help the few remaining Kiwi in the area , and the two nice men cutting tracks through all this crap said that they wanted rid of the few feral sheep that were about , so ...one 223 bang later , a spot of field dressing and a steep climb up a difficult hillside , voila- semi-dressed sheep on the quad ready for the trip home.
It was only a four month old lamb but by the top of the hill it was furkin heavy , very woolly didnt help much but. And before any of you zoophytes ask , I omitted to have sex with it .

Yes , lamb on the menu again .

Are you sure Muzza?I'm sure it had a cute baby face.

"Two NZ sheep herders are flying the herd to a new farm. Suddenly, the engine fails and the plane begins to fall quickly to the ground. SH1: Quick! Grab a parachute and jump! SH2: What about the sheep?!? SH1: F&*k the sheep!!!!

SH2: (pause) Do you think we have time?

Well there ya go - try and get some sort of hunting story going ( of which there has been sod-all lately I note ) and you get some sad git that gets hard over Western Action Shooting taking the piss...

Perhaps , my corpulent friend , you might like to regale us with one of your more recent hunting adventures? Oh yeah - hunting for a pie shop doesnt count...

By the way , the sheep is hanging in a nice cool fly-proof shed at present , prior to being rendered into oven sized portions tomorrow.

Any of you "foreigners" like Europeans or Yanks or Poms got a favourite sheep recipe?

..but it was a well awarded pie shop.
They even done a mint lamb pie.

Aaaaaaargh!!!!!

At least you did post a picture of the roadkill cafe sign ...

Hope you didnt get anything with the chefs special sauce on .....

I'm still on topic Muzza.Fernvale is in the Brisbane Valley-Deer Country.

And they make the best pies!!!! We stop in there on the way back from doing dog work on a property in Fernvale. Great stuff. Going hunting tomorrow Muzza, I'll let you know how I go.

Thought you'd never ask. Picure this. I was
a brand new cityboy jackeroo in the NT. Promoted from cleaning cattle troughs to get
to opening gates for the boss. He has us sneeking up on a herd of brumbies other side of
a turkey nest. " DON'T shoot till I give the word" he says. Next minute he opens up with
his pathetic 38 s&w rev. About 40 horses head
west at a gallop. He stands there stareing to
see if any drop. Eventually he realises all is
quiet. Looks at me and says "Why didn't you shoot?" "Yer havent given the word yet I says"
"Jaysus H.Bloody" etc.etc. "Give em 900 yards
and open up". Next thing, I'm back cleaning
troughs.
