The long journey has begun. I’m in cattle class. :oops: Posting in flight….the world has changed.

3 days and counting.

Shoot straight (y)

I’d zero for the first shot. That’s always the most important one. However, I don’t think it’ll make much difference which ever way you go.

I’d say free range. Years ago I used to cull/hunt on the place in the photo. Would you describe this island as fenced or unfenced?

I reckon if everyone comes home in one piece and well then it’s been a good hunt. I’ve had a couple of hunts that were memorable for every thing that went wrong. But, whilst it didn’t always seem so at the time, they were adventurers that I can now look back on with fondness. Character...

I’m yet to have a bad one.

It is what it is. Prices reflect demand. It’s as simple as that. If you want it to happen then you just have to make it happen. I’m a Baby Boomer, I got to see the last few weeks of the 50’s. I’ve spent most of my life in law enforcement. I’m not rich but I’ve never gone hungry. I live in...

I had a completely opposite experience with a Canadian outfit. Had a BC moose hunt booked for 2020. I couldn’t get there until 2023 because of the Canadian government COVID restrictions, which were more stringent for those of us who aren’t North American. They were absolutely brilliant to...

Regrets serve no purpose.

Very nice

You bought them. So I’m guessing you like them. That’s all that matters. I’d happily hunt with the Ruger and Zasty. Don’t know the others.

WA is a lost cause. I shot/hunted/culled donkeys over for a few weeks around 40 years ago. It was hard back then. I’d suggest closer to impossible now. I went there for a shooting competition last year. Getting permits to shoot rifles at a National championship was complicated. It’s easier to...

I’m Queenslander born and bred. There’s some fantastic hunting here but you’re going to need private land access. Access can be easy or hard. A lot will depend upon where you move to and what you do for a living. If I was going to move somewhere else in Australia….there are only two options...

That’s pretty true. Most Australians don’t realise what hunting opportunities we have. And just how vast and empty Australia is. Even on the East coast. I guess the other man’s grass is always greener. Until you try walking on the lawn.
