I doubt that there is too much that DOC don't know. They turn a blind eye to a lot of stuff when it suits them.
And we are being naive if we think that hunters can keep a secret for long, anyway. Someone always has to do the big noting and blab.

Very much so. My brother told a mate of ours a spot that holds good fallow that we hunt and last weekend the guy let me know he was taking his mate there and asked if I wanted to join. No concerns for courtesy in going straight to a mates place they've just confided in you with but what made it worse was they got back to town and the same day blabbed and gloated about this great new spot to the biggest poacher in town!! So he'll be out there spotlighting flat out now with his mates.Quote:

Yes, our biggest heads have gone bigger than Aussies, (many moons ago, hard going to match some of the early BOP heads taken) but your average head over there is better. If that makes sense?
Yeh I know what you mean, I saw a good one shot in NZ about 2 years ago and then a cracker at the guides house in NZ that his mate had taken in 2011 as well. Like any deer though I spose the goodns are few and far between.Quote:

But Yes they are very impressive animals
I'm glad someone else has said that. Everyone seems to think sambar meat is the ducks guts and I find it very hit and miss myself.Quote:

Mate there's a big chance that you'll never have a month like that again in your hunting life. Maybe in a little while you'll realise what you've done is no small feat, be proud of it mate! well doneQuote:
