I know this is an old thread but I just joined the forum and interested to see how many of the R-license holders have been exploring the forests?
I just got back from an overnighter in one of the blue mountain forests. Damn fresh in winter but still worth it. I few signs around but did not see anything other than wallabies and roos. Saw a few foxes on another trip a fortnight earlier in another forest.
Also up for joining/having a few tag-alongs with R-license's to liven up the campsite banter. Shift work is not the best with other shooting buds. Sydney based.
I went and checked out Hampton and parts of Vulcan a not too long ago, Hampton has a lot of clay/mud tracks and the tracks can get a bit slippery and boggy with not much rain especially the steeper tracks as they flow the creeks in the gully's and not the ridgeline, there was some pig sign about in Hampton but didn't come across much else
It snowed the day I checked them out and they had had light rain the day and night previous and there was still drizzle with the snow and a howling cold wind which didn't entice me to do many long treks
the part I checked out in Vulcan to start with was dicey in the damp conditions with the clay tracks turning in to red soap, you would slide from side to side with no control down the slopes and slip all over the place trying to get up them.... I abandoned that area for one which had gravel tracks and found a more sheltered area out of the icy wind and rain and walked some kms came across plenty of pig sign but again not much else
I head out to Roseberg getting firewood a bit but it cops and absolute flogging with the pig doggers of a night time, and rings with chainsaws and wankers on bikes during the day there must be at least 200 sheep in there all carrying atleast 3-4 yrs worth of wool that have escaped from the property next door if you can shear lol
