    What about it? That's how everyone does it here. I'd be more surprised to hear of someone entering public land animals to be honest with you

    Doesn't count imo
    I shoot lots of paddock deer to full the freezer, help young guys get there first etc.
    But it's more shooting than hunting, don't get me wrong it's still not easy.
    Public land deer in the back of beyond is what really spins my wheels and always will.

    The comps here would be empty if you weren't allowed to enter farm animals haha

    I don't care about them anyway because I'm not a hunting comp person myself. I do it for my own buzz

    I was determined to get a stag this year but my backs put me out of a camp in trip and a couple of day hunts these holidays already. Pissed off as. One mate has a 10 point fallow another one has a 12 point red another as well has a 12 point red my brother and his mate got a small 6 and a video of a 10pointer they roared up on public land which was cool. Would have been cooler if he left the 6 but they brought the meat back which is good. Tin ass ot a 80lb sow too not often we run into pigs on public land wihout dogs. Another mate went diving and got a 2.5kg cray too. All the boys are out doing shit which is mean as. Ahh well got next week and my back seems to be coming right though still not too good. Not sure if I wanna risk huntin just yet and stuff it up again.

    Yeah. I've always been of that opinion. Pre-atharitis, blood disease and ageing...that was. So my balance of those priorities has been changing a little. I draw the line at paying anyone though.

    But that is still the priority that I think young hunters should hold onto; successful public land hunting rather than relying on a network of other people and their private posies.

    When you are my age you sort of get an exemption certificate along with the Super Gold card. I still do some pretty hard out public land hunting though, just not as much.

    Know exactly where you are at @Toby. I'm in the same position. Mates out hunting and fishing while I'm still at least a month away from getting back in the hills.

    B-rad got shot at up hicks bay way @Toby four .270 shots on easter weekend. The boys went around to where the joker was shooting from his truck and found the cases. Why anyone would shoot at another person is beyond me, it even puts the shits up me when jokers lean on their rifle and rest their hands over the muzzle!

    Were they really shooting at him,? 4 shots without a hit is pretty bad even for a 270.
    Not a case of poor choice of sighting in area?

    Good grief. If I believed I had been deliberately shot at once, let alone 4 times, I would have been straight to the police. Did they?

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
