Just about to set off for a few days up the high country with a few lads chasing those pesky sambar.
Been a shit of a day, dog chased a roo yesty arvo and copped a whack to the chest. vets thought he had a collapsed lung and were talking over puttin him down but luckily another one had a look and its far less serious.
And after last weeks luck I reckon I'm due for a good turn! Hopefully have a story to report on Tuesday night!!!

Some of the hunting crew. On hunting trips we have different names (cause we are tools and we use radios with non locked channels). This is Ballan, Stumpy and me (Marshall)

Lovely hunting weather!
the pup Stumpy is holding was four months old and a little cracker, she kept up with us the whole trip and loved every minute of it. But the day after we got home she was ran over the poor bugger.
Sorry to hear about the pup Jack. Mate you are more barmy than a south islander hunting in the snow because you have to go find it in the first place whereas the SI guys just have to walk outside.
y9o had a fgud huhnt my englushg not gud :yaeh am not durnk: Sorry abouut tje pupp

Good stuff. In Aus is it like it is in NZ where you have a whole bunch of public land to hunt for free and you pay for private (unless you know the guy or own the land)? I was asked the other day by my mate but I didn't know. Also noticed you are wearing blaze to other hunters around must be public?
You should definitely always wear blaze in public land over here, lots of idiots with guns that shoot anything that moves.
It depends on where you are in the state, the eastern side of Victoria that holds sambar you can hunt in National Park which is the public land where we were. On my side of the state (West) hunting National Park is illegal, which is handy because it's where all the deer live.
Deer are not pests here and are classed as a game animal - because of this we have to pay for a game license each year to be able to hunt them, similarly to quail and ducks. It's only like $40 a year or something I think for deer.
If you wanna make the hike to Aus Dougie your welcome to come. Could be part of a "Forum Australia hunt" haha
Ah yep. Probably more hunting land per size of the country here then? What with all the regional parks on top of the national parks (fiordland in particular) makes up a decent percentage of the land here.Quote:
