.........cheers solar 17 (baden) ps. these pics are great anyway.
Just quietly, Neither can i!
Some more from last night. We took a new bloke out to give him a break from his family, turned into quite an adventure for him.
The black whip had been skittled by a car but was still pretty active and alert once i realized it wasn't dead. You can kinda make out on the right side of his neck a cut and the top of his head is flat.
I think this might be the same brown from tuesday night, and possibly the same hatchling we found a few months ago.
There's a fun story behind these slide marks! Things like this always seem to happen when we head out without weapons lol. We drove over a little crest in the escarpment and as the spotlights came down to fill the shadow we saw a big black animal with a white **** stading on the side of the road. The three of us in the car thought awesome, a young buffalo that will make for some fun pictures. Josh put the anchours on and brought the car to a stop, at the same time another much smaller black animal wandered across the road and trotted off into the scrub on the other side. We realised that is wasn't a buff it was a mob of about 10 pigs with four of them standing so close together that in the shadows they looked like a young buffalo.
Josh and i said a few expletives when we realised what they were, because we'd only just put our guns back into their safes on monday night. But josh remembered he had a knife in the car... somewhere lol. I jumped out of the car and started chasing a small boar across the road and into the scrub (all wiothout my torch too! lucky it wasn't a dark night) i got pretty close to him but then in a small clearing i saw three piglets. This would be a much tastier option than a stinky old boar, i thought to myself. I turned and ran at the piglets, caught upto one, kicked it's legs out from underneath it and put one leg ontop of it to hold it down while it screamed blue murder lol.
As i bent down to pick it up, i heard rustling from some bushes infront of me. I looked towards the bushes heard the deep 'Onk onk onk onk wooffff woofffff'and chatter of tusks that every pig hunter would recognise as a big old mumma sow coming back to get her baby lol. So needless to say i turned tail and GTFO'd even quicker than when i went running in there. Hahaha, apparently it was quite a funny sight seeing me disappear into the bush only to reemerge even quicker than i disappeared.
