@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.
