Looks like a great time so far!!!

A real hunt does not have to have a kill to be a success or fun! You have new friends, a new respect for game, new hunting techniques and a great following here.

Now on to stag.....

Thanks for taking us along for the ride, good stuff!!

Thanks for sharing.
Really neat to meet up with the "natives" and share their hunting grounds. Missing. I don't think hitting would be such a big deal without that possibility.
Good luck with the Stag hunt.

I dont believe a thing that Ive read here. If you missed 3 goats in a row its cause you didnt want to poke one, must have a soft spot for them. That looks to be one of those hunts where a kill is not needed to make memories. Have fun buddy and get those misses cleared from your head before you put it on a big ol stag.

Good stuff!

Yesterday I went out and found a local archery range. MAN, do these guys know how to do it up around here! This place had a live-on-site caretaker, a practice range with butts from 5 to 50 meters, a broadhead range, and 2-20 target walk through the woods courses. They also have a covered "indoor" range with a wall just like you would see in an archery shop in the US. They can shoot out to 30yds, even if it is pouring down rain. David, the caretaker, told me a group of guys meet out there on Wed evenings and shoot from about 6pm till 10pm. I might go check tht out today too. I am going back out today and will get some pics. I spent quite a while talking to the caretaker and he told me about an all trad 3D shoot they are having there Easter weekend. I am scheming real hard now, trying to work that into the schedule.

See y'all later,

Bisch

What a great adventure!! Thanks for bringing me a long. Maybe crossing into the southern hemisphere is making your northern hemisphere arrows spin backwards

Good stuff Bisch and Ozzy!

Remember to pick a spot on the Stags

Congrats on the Thumpers!

Man, I was on the road (wrong side of the road) in Australia over easter weekend a few years back, driving way waaaay out for a hunt.

I have to say, in all my years, I have never seen as many people going camping as I saw then.

Trust me guys, Aussies REALLy like to go camping. Easter and Christmas seem to be prime times for them. Just the opposite up here.

The difference kinda makes the world go 'round.

Thanks for pics and stories - worts and all. Misses are definitely out of the system for the rest of the trip.

Looking forward to seeing you and a red stag.

gregg dudley · March 28, 2012, 12:27:00 AM

Go get 'em, Bisch!
