Pretty popular block, haven't been in there myself but looks like a lot of Bush and opens up towards the top.
There's at least one very good buck hanging out around what is probably the "least desirable" blocks (small and difficult to move around due to scrub.. separate from the other blocks..) as I see him almost daily , have seen him on the road early morning also.. hopefully he decides those paddocks across the road look inviting at some stage..

It's a great block. Have hunted it a few times. PM me if you want some general pointers on the lay of the land.

First stag turned up last week and was killed by the next one a few days ago, found him today. No crocking yet but won't be far away.

Bugger when that happens. cool to see a white buck get to that age as it is

There was some very good bucks in that block, parents were farming on black gully road and we saw some mobs of very promising bucks in velvet occasionally on back of farm. Once the antlers were hard enough they tended to head into the scrub and often wouldnt see them again until winter time. Always saw them when didnt have a rifle too. Murphys law

another year an anothe run in with another nice big black buck.... which is still runnin around

my time is sorta up on them for a while.

keen too see some pics pop up this next few weeks here!

@ANOTHERHUNTER yep yep, the bucks is a short season even for locals, but there is some ballot stuff coming out too for non resident buck tags i believe!!

one day

No noise on my block this morning but prickets are mobbed up and 2 bucks holding/chasing does. Missed an ok 3 year old as he was on the run after I shot mine

I had one croaking this morning

off for a late night arrival camp for a listen for a hour or two an then hop up in the morning an see if anything makin noise nearby.

i rekon they should be due to the full moon, normally its a bit later? but they are going by then... its in a few days the proper full moon i think.

no expectations, ive got to go black berry spraying afterwards , so gota be pretty large to warrant dropping tomoz.

well long story short, i been elsewhere lookin for other deer, came back an got out this morning.. few makin a bitta noise.. beauty
