Any particular time of the year thats best , or likely to produce better results than others?

Not necessarily for top trophies , more for the experience and likelyhood of success.

Leave the bloody Sambar alone They are too cute to shoot

Two ripping thumpers both well over the 30 mark were rolled over the past w/end which makes for their owners the best time.
But for pure hunting enjoyment when the snakes, ants and other bities are gone for the winter it is a time of more comfort and its the time traditionally to hunt for them.Of course the comfort is often not so with a real wet winter.

I remember one of our best ever 10 day hunts was one of nine days of rain and the tenth it snowed,the weather was shite but the hunting a delight.

June to October is a good span,mind you Oct can be unseasonably warm some years and that makes for much discomfort in our bush.

To pick the best three months would be July Aug,Sept.

I will poke around a little more as winter draws closer,I have been seeing a few marks around the water holes recently to let me know that they are moving back to their usual haunts.

Hey John, ready when you are for that walk

I havent stopped cobber haha,we have had an inch of slow soaking rain and although not enough it has changed dust back to dirt you can see a mark in,I cant get into a lot of places due to road closures etc (fires) that are still in force.

just keep me in mind for a hunt this year!

Can do that cobber,get fit mate (if you are not already)

yep, been doing that since Jan 1, lost 11kg, with still a bit to go. Going to the gym at least 3 times a week without fail. By mid year i should be dangerous!!
