Notfor 2 months ,but I am going in a few days time. I will be going to a place a few hours drive from Cairns. It doesnt have huge pig numbers but has a good place by a water hole for camping and catching small fish. I will be taking out the missus and kid as well as a workmate who hasnt been pig hunting for 20 years but is keen to have a crack again. If I get 2 or 3 pigs a day I will be happy ,maybe a dingo or two as well.

Nope!I've just moved house so I've been doing the stay at home unpack/tidy up thing. Good news is the wife and the fabulous Baker Boys are off to the out-laws place for a few weeks so I'll be hunting and fishing to my hearts content! Already planning a trip to Darwin after some mud crabs!! Then south to chase pigs, then east to chase .......


Can you tell I'm excited!

Youre hard to please! I'veput up pages of stuff.

Actually heading back to the Territory in about 10 days time!

Went pig hunting on Monday. No luck. Plenty of pigs about, but also a foot of snow over everything. Dogs just weren't interested.

Tahr hunting last week. Shot two Tahr.

For the two weeks before that I was in Samoa. Not much hunting to be had there.

Starting to think about fishing now. 1st October is looming up, and the Trout are beckening.



Can someone teach me how to attach photos to posts.

Well if you call kangaroo culling from a car and rabbit culling from a car as well - hunting then I went 2 weeks ago and I'm going again this weekend. The guy I went with last time took 4's for the 12ga for rabbits, I would normally use 6's so I will take some this week.

What do you guys normally use for rabbits in shot size I mean?

I tried the 350 Barnes X out of the 416 at 2935fps and was a little disapointed at the lack of devistation, was eXpecting good results, oh well will try again this weekend.
The 458 is off at the doctors so no using that. May have to take the 7mm with those 168grn Sierra Match King hunting bullets

I have an invite to go after Bison,Moose and Elk in Canuck's home range but that doesn't start until Sunday morning . Heck,even then it starts with a 14 or so hour drive,and I get to do the driving. derf

Had a wander down the track on the weekend, took a couple of young fellas out for a hunt back-to-back, while the missus did a practice-run for her big walk (Jatbula Trail) in a couple of weeks. One of the young blokes had never shot a buff, so we found him a keeper to open the ledger. No world-beater, but nice horns with plenty of character. They will look good on the wall down south.



I managed a running shot on a good boar on the Saturday. I was out wide checking out a couple of small thickets, and jumped him from his bed under one of them. Initially he headed straight towards the other blokes, but did a U-turn round the clump and came back past me heading for the hills. The Jeffery .400 flattened him with a pleasing head-shot.





Bagged a ripper boar on the second day, but unfortunately I left the digital camera with my other pack, and the only photos are in the young bloke's print-camera. He's just gone bush for another week, then heads back down south! Might be a while before I see them. I'll post the circumstances when the photos come to hand.
