Yeah Mate, this is the 3rd barrow I've shot in the last 18 months.
He definitely was a loner, cos I saw a mob of about 25 pass through about 1/2 hour before, but were up higher in among the trees and I let em go
cos I couldn't get a decent aim at any of them, they seemed to be in a bit of a hurry.
This one looks light on in the hindquarters,, but I think that is just his general body shape.
He certainly wasn't light. I shot him on top of the dam wall, and he rolled down to the waters edge, and as I don't like leaving them where they can taint the water I'll be going back this aft with a long cable to pull him out, cos I couldn't get within reach with the winch cable.
As for the dogs Mate,,,,,,,, Well, from a dogs perspective I don't think they are fairing very well at all just recently.
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.
