Fathers Day weekend hunt report

Well we (Eldest son, his girlfriend and I) had a great week end. Spotted a BIG boar but he gave us the slip. Spotted a group of eater pigs (3/4 grown) but THEY gave us the slip in the steep country. Then as we fell/slid/toppled down a gully I saw a nice boar sound asleep. Kurt came up and put one in its head! Nice pig for his first ever large animal.




Our legs and ankles were cooked after that hunt but the next morning we went to a gully system where I missed the chital doe that morning. Saw nothing but we decided to look around a rocky out crop and immediately I saw an old red deer. I lasered it at 213 meters and was setting up for a shot when the kids (who couldn't see the red, pointed out a chital. Good old range finder said 153 (I love this thing Big Grin) and I took the shot at the chital. Hit the point of the shoulder and exited the ribs so very little meat damage. It was a very steep pack out and my boy was puffing like a bastard rotflmo.
Had a bloody great weekend.






The cut up.

I caped it out so I can use it on an upcoming taxidermy course.

A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

Short sharp little slopes Shanks. Lots of loose little ankle breaker rocks.

Steep little gullies , rolly rocks that want to break your ankle , spikey grass that gets in your socks , and every biting insect known to man. I love hunting in Qld ;-)

Great write up Tony.
Real nice to see the country side

that.

Good eats too, thanks for sharing.

Ahh got you. I would just like to point out though, that you donned the gumboots, I was standing in the grass in my hunting boots with that shovel and thinking, this is a dumb idea, But Gryph knows what hes doing.... Until you said, this is probably not a good idea.

A lot of older spec cam uniforms there Bakes. Sloping pocket DPCU, first came out in the late 1990's. You raid an old Q-store back in 2008 or something? Big Grin
