Going camping/hunting with my friend...

[Bruiser64]

Now that the hunting trip has folded think i might look for some properties. Apparently ill be looking solo as mates deem it too booring to find new places. Sorry rant over.

Let me guess: they don’t find it too boring to shoot on the new properties you have secured?

[bigfellascott]

Probably cutting firewood knowing me.

Yea mate 3 years and to date they have got nothing although it is much better to go with mates i just wish they were a little more proactive with looking/securing new properties.

[GQshayne]

As it happens I will be off on a shooting trip too. I have some loading/testing/sighting in to do for the property owners .223, and then try and get some dogs that have been attacking his sheep.

Spending a week with family at Blackwater, water skiing and hopefully a hunt.

[Sergeant Hartman]

Get the properties... but don't share them as sharing is too boring

[Gamerancher]

Travelling to S.A for the Muzzle-loading Nationals being held at the SSAA Para range.

Who got deleted...?...was he/she naughty...?

[Member-Deleted]

Don't know Stix but i think i replied i think on this post about plenty of Red claw lobsters being not far from blackwater at Emerald dam and i can't see that any more but there wasn't anything nasty or vile in the post just letting them know there's redclaws not far from Blackwater or maybe i've got all wrong and got the wrong post who knows

[Stix]

Well it seems ill have around 4000 acres with bunnies foxes & some deer all to myself...anyone wana come...?

Both farmers are away & i dont have any friends so looks like i dont have to share my bacon fat with anyone...

BUT...!!...that also means i have to clean & pack up myself...

Actually, the worst of it is answering back to myself for the entire trip...

[Blr243]

I have probably been on a hundred hunting trips solo. Nothing can go wrong .... it’s safe. And pleasant

[ClaytonT88]

I was hoping to run in my new bit of kit but we'll have to wait and see what happens, but I do have a 120th to make an appearance at at some stage (2 mates with the same birthday who hold their birthdays together)

I did 3 weeks once no phone, no tv, no body, no radio and no power didnt think id be able to do it! But to tell you the truth by day 4 i was at peace and couldn't have been happier. The hard part was coming back to it all.

[Urastus]

I'm heading north to detonate some pussies with 798gr hollow points Might even get round to some practise for the Australian titles if I run out of pussy.

It's good to know somebody is They are devastating. That does seem a touch overly aggressive though

[Urastus]

We're off to Derby, mountain biking

I never knew there were deer in SA. What an offer; and bummer, got plans. I hope you have a good time; it's a great opportunity.

[bigpete]

Seriously ?
Nope,no deer in SA. None at all. No reason to even think of coming to SA

My mate muttered something about spotlighting some foxes on the property we cut wood on so might be doing that as well as cutting firewood, might need to see what ammo I have reloaded for the 204 and 222 (been a long time since I've used both) so have no idea what ammo I have for either.

Went out the other day for a wander for some pigs but none seen so cut a load of firewood, then went out yesterday to cut a load of wood a came across a mob of goats and no firearm with me I said to my mate who was with me that I bet we see something whilst out cutting wood and sure enough

Bloody hell isn’t that always the way mate.

Bloody Oath, not that it really mattered as I don't shoot the goats on their place as they like em to keep the blackberries down (mind you they are doing a poor job of it if that's their job) they also have a million cats running around the place too and I can't expire any of those either as they are their pets apparently

End of the day it's their place, their rules and I stick to em regardless of what I think/want.

[JimTom]

Makes sense mate. Best way to lose access to a place is not respect the owners wishes.

[brett1868]

Picked up a gong to test, the manufacturer claims it's 50BMG resistant. Manufactured in Australia by Blackcarbon in Vic http://www.blackcarbon.com.au Should be fun to hammer it with the 808gr Lehigh's and 395gr Woodleighs from the 50 & 416. I don't think ill damage it but I'll give it a good workout

@Die Judicii Bring your biggest "Hammer" mate

Too right I always do as they ask and that's the way it should be.

I'll be waiting for the news story ...

"Metal plate seen flying across the sky, later found embedded into a Melbourne high rise building.
Experts believe it may be piece of space junk form a decommissioned Russian satellite."

Well I hope other people fared better then I did, my trip was a fizzer. Unfortunately the new property I went to will never be a hunting property. It is too small, and has very little cover on it. Bummer.

Mine was great. My offsider shot a heap of bunnies and I got a deer for her freezer. And no I'm not sharing pics...

How did you go at derby? Place has gone fukn mental over last couple years.

If I had have seen the post earlier, could have shown you some hidden trails to explore in some insane historical areas of NE Tas that spill eventually into Derby...one such area produces amazing blue sapphires

Good, don't wanna see pics anyway!!!!!! Sad enough already!!!!

I was lucky to have good hunting for many years, but not any more. Not Robinson Crusoe though, that is for sure.
