Thanks

@NRT did you see many Roo’s

I walked in there with a young fella (who was tracking our daughter at the time) about 6-8 years ago. We shot a few roos as we walked in and after we dumped our packs at the hut we went off for a hunt. We saw several Chukur doing thier unique "thing and quite a few wallabies. The young fella then spotted a very nice Chamois buck, a fairly young one, which after a bit of a fuck up (I admit it, I missed it at about 10M) I finally dropped at fairly extreme range, close to 300M. We could see it lying down so we waited for it to "harden up" before movwing in on it. In the interim I nearly rolled off a small bluff mucking about with my binos and was saved by the young fella. For a long time we joked that he'd saved my life so he was entitled to our "first born" - unfortunately they later parted company - a bugger cause he was good fun to hunt with - bloody kids! He even carried the Chamois up the long steep.face it was on haha.

Saw seven roos two chamois five pigs and one red stag .

Any budget for a 250cc four stroke, or 150cc two stroke? KTM 450 is good bike, like Yamaha WR450, comes to tough terrains, trails with short & steep turns & climb, 250cc is better as my experience because it can reach max outputs faster than bigger engines.

Sherco 290 is where it’s at for the twisty tracks

Trail bike is nice, never ride one. I thought an old Honda CRF 250cc is enough, weight 90kg, plus hunting gears say 120 kg...maybe.

WHAT!!! No fuckin seat! Not gonna get far at this age without a big fat Seat Concepts seat to sit my arse on inbetween the standing up bits.

Need the big fat seat for the long haul, especially when the pack weighs just shy of 30kg on the way back out...
