I think there’s a fair bit of back arching going on when they rub that high. Every time I walk past that rub I want to measure it but not exactly carrying a tape measure. I’ll try a piece of string that will do

I wanted to test my dog in the kayak first to see it was Not going to be a total wet disaster He was coaxed into the back section ( storage bay ) without too much trouble and he seemed to sit still the whole time ... I paddled a bit up and down the river negotiating some fallen trees. I was nervous prior to this outing that he might kick off into the river and upset the balance to the point where I end up in the river too ....so that was all good .... then at night I headed of on the quad to a reliable spot but all was quiet and at 930 pm I had had enough so I cruised on home to the hut. It’s usually impossible not to see pigs on this place ..I also saw no Roos, hares cats or foxes. Just one field mouse ....and the mozzies were brutal ... I’ll camp for the moment and then try again at 3 am to see what I can find. In the coming week I think the beaurio has predicted tomorrow as being the hottest day , so I think I really need to spend a couple of hours with my dog and rifle up and down the river in the kayak to see if I can find pigs watering If I can shoot without my dog jumping into the river or we can sneak up onto pigs without him getting so excited that he dives off and gives chase then it could be a good thing. We will see
