A few pics from my weekend getaway

[Bent Arrow]

Just a few pics from a short trip away. Got up to a favourite property in the Flinders Ranges for a few day and rounded out the trip with a few hours of contemplation

A couple of billies at different ends of the property that look like a father-son pair. This old fella was pretty tied up with arthritis and had a broken off horn

I got a couple of nannies for meat including this one which I took the legs and back straps from. Bound to be controversial on this forum because I head shot it but didn't take all of it off the property I filled my freezer and gave the eagles, crows and magpies something to squabble over.

And squeezed in a bit of gong banging at 300 m, a distance I don't have a safe place to practice at close to home

Nice work, as old stinky goes he was a good looking fella. Are you tanning the hides or just took the meat from the nannies?

Thanks. Just meat from the nannies and a bit of culling billiies out the back of the property where they don't round them up

Great time of year to be up there but very dry at the moment

[marksman]

looks like you had a great time

shame on you not taking the whole stinky home and feeding the vultures
and using a head shot
you beast, shame shame shame

[bigrich]

love your work BA, been nailing a few goats for the freezer myself lately. they are a lot tastier than i was led to believe.

[bigrich]

what rifle and caliber ?

[SCJ429]

I tanned a hide but after tanning and washing it several times it still smells. The Mrs doesn't want it inside. I will have to treat it with Febreeze or something similar.

[Daddybang]

Looks like a great spot to perch BA.
And don't worry about leaving some for the crows. .....ya gotta keep"em fat for Bigpete!!!!

[Bent Arrow]

what rifle and caliber ?

Take 1/2 a cup of bread crumbs, add a table spoon or so of seasoning and the juice and zest of one lemon, and a teaspoon of honey. Mix together. Take boned shoulder or leg and roll leg around stuffing mix. Wrap with several rashers of bacon and tie tightly to hold moisture into the leg/shoulder of goat.

Stick in the Webber for 1-1.5 hours depending on size of roast and how hot your weber is. Let it rest for a good 10 minutes, carve it up and serve with roast potatoes, pumpkin and gravy. Gone......didn't even remember to take a photo........

Nice, I like the photo through the scope, for someone like myself that is technically retarded, how did you take it and with what?

Just with my phone, takes a bit of stuffing around to work out where to hold the camera lens but once you work it out it's pretty easy
