For the most part I think allot of us Tradgangers are from the U.S., but I know we have fellow tradgangers from all over the world. I think it would be cool to see some of the animals these guys have harvested this year.
Lets see some pictures and hear some stories of animals harvested in other parts of the world.

this is a cool idea for a thread. I always like seeing archery pics from other countries. I really liked those recent pics from the gentleman from Andorra.

The year is still young, and I've not hunted successfully yet, but these are from last year or the year before:

Actually, this one is from 2006, I think.

This one is from 2007.
Ben what do you do with the animals you harvest?
Do you utilize the donkeys and camels as food or what? I can't imagine what camel would taste like.
Ben,
thats awesome! stalking on this big critters in this open country must be kinda hard, good job!
:clapper:
nice critters guys :thumbsup:
I dont know about camels,but donkey's are VERY SMART!I would expect hunting them would be quite a challenge.Thanks for sharing.
Bill
That camel is very cool.Id love to hunt them.
Ben, if you eat those animals I sure would like to see some of the recipes you use to prepare them.
An ungulate is an ungulate is an ungulate...regardless if it has one hump, two humps, or no humps. (meat is meat)
RonD,
Whether he eats them or not in the Land Down Under those beast are not native and very distructive to the land due to their high numbers. From what I've read over the years management hunts are very encouraged to keep the damage down to the native fauna.
BTW, when I catch a mouse in a trap I don't eat it, either. If someone wants to I'll save it for them, though. :D
ChristopherO, you have lost me on your post. I don't recollect making the hunting of these animals an issue. I simply raised the question to as to whether or not the people in Australia consumed the meat of these animals and if so what recipes did they follow in preparing the meat. Personally, whether you kill or eat mice is of no concern to me. Please stop attributing your thinking to me. Your PETA paranoia is showing.
Simply go back to your two previous post and then think about why you weren't answered by those you asked the question to. It could be the way it was asked.
so do people eat donkey and camel? and i am just asking, i didnt know til a couple months ago that people ate mountain lion.......
Those camels are kind of like a moose without the antlers to distract attention from the ugly! (I would love to hunt them sometime, though ;) )
Made a deal with my wife when I went to Oz - no donkeys or brumbies, everything else was fair game. I would (and will someday) go back over just for the fantastic pig hunting. Man, stalking those big boars to 10-15 feet - brings back good memories.....

Life is good in New Zealand!

I'm ready to hunt Down-under!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Pigs, Goats, Donkeys, camels------that'd sure take the "ordinary" out of hunting --for a whitetail hunter! :goldtooth:
ChristopherO, simply straight forward questions with no hidden agendas attached. You are reading way to much into the posts that simply isn't there. Again, your misinterpreting what I asked. I don't know why Ben didn't answer, but you seem to think you do. Do you think you might be trying to do Ben's thinking and intentions for him as well?
RonD, I didn't see anything wrong with your posts either. I was wondering the same thing. You can eat anything with flesh, I'd guess, but not everything tastes good.
Ben had a post a week or so ago and he was cooking Camel tenderloin. I think it was about the tropics or the desert. I will try to bring it to the top. he talked about cooking it. it looked good. I just brought it up top, called
"Desert Photography"

(now no more arguing)
philil, are the choi fish native to New Zealand?
Barney and Two Tracks, thank you for recognizing and answering my questions. I know people throughout the world eat different foods and live according to different cultural values as to what animals and plants are edible. Two Tracks thank you for bringing Ben's other thread to the top. Always like to see and learn about other people and the environments they live. After the last post I had no intention of continuing bantering meanings with ChristopherO. I apologize to anyone who feels it had a negative affect on this thread
Ben told me a couple years ago that those wild asses were TOUGH to bowhunt. Keen senses and smart,, hard to get killed.
You know it would be big fun bowhunting them!
The Koi Carp were introduced some decades ago.
Been spreading ever since.
They're highly invasive and have strong, negative effects on native species, trout and water quality.
You'd think that spotting an orange carp is easy, but they jst mudd-up the water so much that you can usually not make them out if they're deeper than a foot.
Phil
All I know is that SOME DAY, I will be down in the bush for a good long hunting trip. Might hop over to NZ for some orange fish shooting.
PHILIL, what is the camo on the bow in your goat picture?
Thanks,
Chuck
