Well lads..... Had what you would refer to as a PB weekend with a few mates. Will be comparing every other trip to this one for a long time.
71 pigs, yup 71 confirmed dead pigs for the weekend, and we were even been rained out for Sunday.
I’ve not ever had a trip like this on foot. (Done some chopper work but that’s different)
Every single section of scrub we walked had pigs, and lots of them. There was one clump of trees the size of two footy fields that we walked 6 times and got half a dozen every lap in a 2hr period.
Then at night we worked the feedlot at this property and thermal-ed and NV’ed for pigs coming in every 30mins. Was insane and the property owner, who was with us the whole time was having a hoot watching it unfold in front of him. Good feeling when the lads are on song in front of the owner.
It’s funny cos this place hasnt produced for the last 18 months. Chewed through the 00SG, 308 and 6.5 but so worth it.
One boat I dropped had mud on his flanks about 2-3” thick. There were two pellets stuck in the mud. Hadn’t even got through... Cool stuff.
p.s. Die Judicii it was about an hour from you mate. Plenty around right now
