All hunters Look

[firedragon]

Some pretty impressive pics ans stories here, I'm jealous now..
I've never been hunting my self, but when i was younger my dad was a cop in tully and I remember the sargents sons coming back with some huge pigs very often.. Always wanted to go but wasn't allowed.. The closest i've come to hunting was shooting toads with a slug gun in the creek in the back yard when i lived in tully...

Greg , you look like your demon possesed mate :shock: Thats a top boar. You could of had a bath for the pic too. Cheers for your input mate

Thats still hunting Firedragon. Fitness eh !! When i sit on the verandah after about 3 beers and a couple of durries , i think to myself , " Ill go for a hunt i think " My fitness is not to good but when the hunts on you get the go from somewhere. Alot of long walks involved with spasmodic dashes. Your right in saying a km , sometimes more but most times my dog will pull them up within 500 mts and then its back to walking. you can also cheat a bit and " ute find " thats driving with your dogs on the back of the ute very slowly and then when your dogs smell a pig in the bush they fly of the ute and belt up through the scrub and find and hold him. Thats a hard thing to do with limited roads through my properties and it takes alot of practice. At least you can have ya beer and durries in the car :lol: Jokes people , Jokes Matt

Yer thanx for that Herpie boy. The thread is far from a 3 teeth whatever. We were all just having a bit of a talk about hunting and you had to spoil it. Not to worried , ive had my tiffs with Midol etc. Please dont trash it man. Advertise your weapons on the right part of the site but by all means tell people that you have some firearms for sale under another section. That would have been the go as there are hunters looking at this section and you could have got thier attention. But sadly now they may think differently. This section is " Chit Chat " that means if i want to , i can talk about the orange stain in my s bend , so if you want to start spinning out , then start a new thread on people with 3 teeth. Cheers Matt

Keep you pants on people, lol. It's amazing this thread got this far before someone came out with something like that. Anyway.......
Mung: Some of the properties out there specially for bowhunters are amazing, if you get into the right areas it really is suprising how nice some patches of bushland are, with the monsoon forest on the toomba basalt giving a nice change out at the right time of year. We went out there a few years ago and got a pair of nice staggs, but the shots aren't digital and there's no scanner handy. One of my hunting mates is a real estate agent who takes care of the rural stuff in my area, so he gets us on to alot of properties simply by getting to know the people selling and putting in the good word. Works a treat

I haven't used dogs since I was a kid, but some of the animals you're putting up are making me want to get back into the hound game.

Good to see you were able to get a few Rednut.
Are their still some properties out that way that only cater for bowhunting that you know off ???
Now that Bill has passed on, I hear every man and his dog is trying to move in to his pad and
continue it as a hunting property - would'nt be the same without him there...
Looks like this thread has got me going again !!!!!!!!
My mate from Glen Innes is very keen on a pig / deer and Murry Cod trip.
Looks like I'm IN !!!!!!!!!!!!:lol:

good to see people getting rid of those feral pigs and having fun doing it great looking pics too

I've been pig hunting with a few blokes when i was working out in Aboriginal communites was good fun although we didn't manage to get any.

How do you train a dog to pig hunt? It's something i'd love to get into but would be too scared my dogs would get hurt.
