Been hunting for 35+ years.
Started on possums with traps.
Still remember carting a cage trap way up the back at Nanas then going back the next day to see what I had, Yeah got a possum..... now what....no gun, all I had was a bit of string & a knife....got it sorted :D
Caught heaps of possums when I was 11-12, even kept some alive in Nanas averies so I could get 1st grade skins, earnt heaps & bought a ten speed with all the fruit for $269 :cool:
Still remember shooting my first Hare at 14 with my Uncles 22, can remember exactly where, hard case after all these years.
Same with my first Deer at about 18-19.
Still remember going with Dad after Hares, bloody hard keeping up with 6'3" when you are wee
Theres one Dad, "no it's a bit of wood".......Nek Minit "Hey Dad the bit of wood is running away" :D
Dad got shot when he was about 19 so I wasn't really encouraged to go hunting much.:oh noes:
