Father Son annual trip

Post by Patrol66 » 04 Jan 2015, 5:52 am

Best trip ever. We saw some pigs on this trip but after a lengthy stalk at night couldn't get a clear shot and the three little pigs got away from us. One down side was the fishing. The only thing I managed to catch was a poor turtle . We both managed an upgrade on our Billy's though. There was plenty of water in all the creeks which spread the pigs out in every direction on the 110k acre property we hired for three nights.

A good start for new year

Cheers all

nothing like hunting with the family, seems to bring you all closer together IMHO

Awesome :)

Great that you both got an upgrade for the trophy book.

Bit of a downer when you go with mates and one person doesn't get something. For them any way :lol:
