Most of these stories (except for the theft ones) are better than when I was pighunting and took a few (so called reputable) pighunters out to my possies. I gave up because you could guarantee they would either be ringing the farmer up the next week or poaching those possies.....
One snuck out to the place; got his 4x4 stuck, "borrowed" the farmer's tractor and rolled it into the river..... And then told the farmer that I had told them that it was ok to go there.....
Another came out with me (a mate of the guy I hunted with), and while I was talking to the farmer he made himself as small as possible in the landrover seat. I wondered why the cocky was a bit short. The answer came that night when the farmer rung me up and ripped a strip off me for bringing that "poaching c**t" onto his farm... Turned out him and a few mates and been there the week before with their dogs rounding up all the wild goats and trucking them away. Oh; and had only recently helped clean out most of the local woolsheds....
