We had some new country to explore for a few days. The bow and I remained luckless, but Dave managed to show a little piggy the error of his ways. He was shooting his 65# at 27" Black Widow PSA2 and his home-made Douglas fir / STOS arrows. Being new country, we spent lots of time working-out where not to hunt and how to get to the good spots for next time. So, hopefully next year we'll do a couple of trips to this place. It was lots of fun and very interesting being in new country closer to the coast (which means keeping a sharp eye out for handbags, and carrying handbag repellent). Enjoy the pictures! Cheers, Ben

Nice lookin country - those cattle just range cattle - or totally wild?
:thumbsup:
Nice mate ! getting warm up there yet ?
Dave's bow looks sweet . Good on him for helping to clean up Ausralia !
Watch them handbags !
Looks like fun, great pics, thanks
Great pictures as always, congrats to Dave.
They're station cattle, J-dog - tagged in the ears.
Mr. Maher, it is indeed warm! I only saw one handbag, not a very big one at perhaps 2m or 2.5m. But I wonder how many saw us? We saw a big drag mark in the dry mud, with big footprints, where one had come-out in a hurry at something.
Nice. That land was made for bowhunting. Someday.
Rockin Ben! Are those wild cows? We had some wild bulls in heavy brush deltas here in Texas. Considered extremely dangerous! Thanks for the pix.
nice going guys. when ben does things his does it properly. that gun is probably firing slugs as heavy as his arrows for his 80# bow!
Priceless!!!!!!!!
Thanks much for sharing!
OK Ben you got us. What's a handbag

Ben, Great pics. Love the outback, awesome country.
Nice pic's
Is that a rifle for protection against ?? Or a shotgun for birds ??
handbags, belts, wallets, boots...............raw of course
I always like seeing your pictures Ben.
G'day fellows, the cattle are station (domestic) cattle for our live export market to Indonesia (which our government tried to wreck recently). And handbags are saltwater crocodiles which are prolific in this part of the country. So yeah, the other stick is for protection against them as well as for back-up against buffalo, should the chance arise (and we were onto fresh tracks and dung, but no sightings).
LOVE looking at these down under pics. Someday...
Great pics Ben! :thumbsup:
Nice, great picts.
Fantastic country.
Very good stuff.
Nice pics Ben, love seeing that "overseas" stuff!
