[tonk]

yep she sure is grafton chick but shes a great family dog with kids and would lick u to death..:lol: but she hates pigs..
shes the big brindle one in the middle and her daughter is on the right..

cheers tonks

 

[GraftonChic]

you can see the wolfhound in her. Looks very happy with herself. Is her daughter going to be as good a dog?

 

[Isis]

What do you think is a good age to start a pup off. We have a stag pup who is just over 4mths and he already chases bunnies and foxes in our paddocks. We have been told its way to early for him but he does it all by himself.

I start taking my pups out at about 12 weeks. The only thing you have to be careful off is them getting lost. Older dogs that start dont seem to be a good as pups for some reason at finding thier way around. Maybe because the pups know your scent from birth and an older dog that has not been bush before takes a while to adjust. Pups adjust to anything.Took my 2 baby boyz out the other day but all they wanted to do was rumble in the grass. But when they saw that dead pig they were amazed and so thier hunting life started.

Nice one, well done. I myself am a bow hunter, having migrated from the rifle some years ago. There is nothing like nailing a big boar with a 3 pointed broadhead from 30 meters and seeing it go down. They are a pest and it is great to see someone netting some big breeders.

 

[Matty007]

Paliadon , ive done it myself. Some pigs but mostly goats and its such a rush. Bow hunting is without a doubt one of the purest forms of hunting and takes great skill to be good at. It is REAL hunting Matty

 

[tonk]

theyre lookin good matty would go alright over my dingo dog if they cut the grade lol

 

[Bakes]

Havn't been on here for awhile so I have to jump in late. Here's some of my pics

 

[bigpython]

Well done bakes good pics, I'd like to venture up the top end one day and bowl over a buff.

 

[Matty007]

hey mate good pics and thankx for sharing Just talking to my wife last night watching a show on Darwins waterfowl , wongering how Magpie geese taste ?? Good or what ?? Cheers Matt

 

[tonk]

good pics bakes u hunt with the halls much?? they get amongst some top hogs a fair bit aye:lol:

 

[Bakes]

I used to a lot when I lived in Katherine Tonk. I still try to get down there in the dry for a hunt or two. Yes they do get some good pigs. The buggers are out every weekend though! Hunting with Gary is never boring.

Matty. I think they are pretty good. Very dark lean meat, I just cook it like veal. I love it in our own version of sweet and sour. Even the wife and kids like it. I've told the boys they get 50c per pellet they find

There is not much meat on them other than the breast meat (nice big fillet). The legs get the nails cut off and go to the dogs. The pooches love them and its great for their teeth!

The thing laying on top is the trachea (sp?) Its gives the big males their deep honk ;-)

 

[smeejason]

[Bakes]

Some nice boars there Jason, well done.
