The prequels were a turkey attack, again all caught on video and being charged by a cow (more serious). He's done the electric fence thing. What next I wonder?

Plucking a duck while sitting waist deep in waders on a log last season ,look down to see a massive eels head looking up at me in the crotch region,sat in the canoe and shot from it as well after that little experience,it’s head was easily the size of my fist.

This poor wee bugger can't catch a break, he will be traumatized for life.

He will either be too scared to ever venture outdoors or he will develope a blood lust and want to kill everything he comes across.

It varies between the two. After the turkey thing, he wanted blood! He certainly seems to attract trouble that boy.

@MB I can see him starring in revamped Crumpy Hi Lux Ads in the future

When l was his age in the 70's we were running amuck in the Bush behind the Old Mans Cattle run & l was renowned for bringing home all sorts of orphaned critters & getting bitten , scratched etc ,so they got me a book by a Aussie bloke named Harry Butler , titled In The Wild with Harry Butler ,who was a world renowned naturalist and environmental consultant ,who had a very popular TV series of the same name travelling to remote areas & showing all the critters ,that ran through the 70's & 80's ,he ended up having something like a Dozen species named after him .

He really started me into a love & study of wild animals & exploration of remote places,he would be in jail now as he always carried a ,(l think from memory) ,a old Army & Navy .410 SXS shotty for collecting specimens & seed pods from trees. But he was always saying that the future of looking after wild life & wild places was to have a working relationship with it of "Look At It,Touch It, But Put It Back " & always said that is what Kids should be encouraged to do .

He also shaped the way l have always Hunted & Stalked, as he would go to great pains to show how quick movements would attract animals attention & how you can wear all the camouflaged gear you want, but white fellas exposed faces & hands etc light up like a beacon in the bush in sunlight & are totally foreign shapes in the bush to the animals ,so you have to make sure that is covered with a hat,veil etc to be really cammoed .
This post reminded me how much l enjoyed reading / watching him as a kid & l dug out the old book & put it into the pile of gear we moved down to the new Bach & will have a read of it again in the peace & quiet down there.
