I consider that day as to be one of my most rewarding hunts.That stag is actually looking at me/my shape and if any **** wants to argue that proper camo isn't effective well they can do with a few lessons.

I put a lot of time in on them. The camera doesn't tell you about crawling though tussock on knees in summer in Australia lol. The viewers only get the end result not the pain.
Fuck me mate,on hands and knees you never know when Mr Brown is gonna be around the next tussock. At least standing up ya get a better view.

shanksponyYeah I know Gryph. it's bloody hard to find one, let alone photograph one. then there sneaking up on 5 sets of eyes...
Been watching a feel reels from Sunshine Coast snake catchers. Man those browns are fast! And sneaky. Fuck living with them around. Id be carrying a 410 everywhere.

gryphon1Did I mention on here that I saw movement and looked down thinking a little scrub wren was frigging around under my computer table in the shed? It was a farkin brown snake two feet from my left foot. About a week ago.

shanksponyMan that looks dry.
28 February 2025, 01:23
gryphon1its as dry as a witches tit in parts Shanks. The berries are green especially along the creeks but sambar being sambar they still stay in good order.
I have notice young calves on the ground from a month ago..way out of order mind you.
People are feeding out all over and the ave temps are over 30 for another week.
Btw that hind above has twins in that dry country and shes doing pretty bloody good.

shanksponyId guess the sambar has a stomach that can deal with dry rough feed?

gryphon1All the deer species can handle it if thats all they have.
