I had one going well 1250m on Sunday (17th). He gave me the run around for an hour before he shut up and gave me the slip. Middle of the day, sunny and not cold.

I culled up there in the early 70s , back then goats were our main pest animal as well as pigs. Possums weren’t up there then, rabbits and hares were around on some of the properties we hunted. Never...
