Hi all

I shot a lot as a youngster, foxes, rabbits and pigs. Getting on a bit now and took up archery and bowhunting 2 years ago. As I live in Brisbane I needed an R Licence to hunt in NSW as I don't know any property owners in QLD to hunt their properties. Have done 4 hunts so far, at Attunga, Butterleaf, Forest Land state forests.
Haven't managed to nail a deer or goat yet, but will persist as I like the challenge that bowhunting brings. IE, getting within 30-40 metres to take an ethical shot.
But have seen heaps of goats, and a few deer here and there.
Wanting to try Parkhurst State Forest next, but unable to find out whether it has goats. :)

Hi all

Hunter based in Vic looking to expand my game species list. Usually shoot shotgun/rimfire at foxes/rabbits/waterfowl just getting into hunting deer.

Cheers and happy trails

:drinks: I'm an American that retired from the military a few years ago... Got to spend some time in Kuwait in 2001-2002 with Australian Military personnel... Found this site about a month ago and looking at how things are done in different parts of the world... I remember the first time I had Vegemite and the Australian Military can openers that were different than ours, if I remember correctly they were called FRED (f***ing ridiculous eating device)... Been hunting deer for 20+ years and several years ago I lived in an area that was big on hog hunting also... I love the joke threads... I am here to read but will answer any questions anybody may have...
