shanksponyBack too the hunting
I havn't posted a hunting report here for a while, so thought I might stick up a few pi'cs from the last six months.
Went for a hunt with Gryph, and sht a few Tahr.
Full story is currently in the NZ outdoor magazine.
I had some Aussie girls stay 4 months with me, and turned them from unsure non hunters who were uneasy at killing .
Into a cuple of dedicated hunters who will keep up hunting now they are home.
there first pigs shot gutted and carried themselves.
Em's stag, the head is now on her wall in Aus.
Took them into the mountains too, and had a ball.
Took a trip to the Northen hemisphere, Sweden, and shot a few animals I wouldn't here.
had a crack at moose hunting, but just missed out n pulling the trigger.
been home a week now, and went for a hunt a couple of nights ago. got this guy.
Should get back into the mountains again before Xmas and restock my venison supply.

BakesVery cool pisc Shanks, looks like you had a ball. That last boar is a monster.

sambarman338Yes Craig,
sounds like you've had a great year. Fine critters, esp. if the fallow and big pig both came from your farm.
The wolf pic is specky, too.
Cheers

gryphon1A bit of fun Shanks but there's room and time for more over here you know...you saw the nice stag we got the other day..there`s one for you too mate.
S338 Are you sure that 'wolf' is not a hunting dog crossing the track.

shanksponyGryph, those pics yu keep sending me are driving me nuts....Probably your intent.
Book me in, I've allready decided I'll be visiting you this comming year.
Yeah, the wolf is a hunting dog, Swedish or Norwegian elg dog. They look a bit like a wolf though.

sambarman338Thanks John. Point taken.
When is a wolf not a wolf? When it's ready to lick a human ass?
Looking into this matter, I notice the closest dog to a wolf might actually be the shih tsu. But, as touched on in 'Dumb and Dumber',
cross it with a bulldog and you may create an ineluctable profundity.
