good stuff mate :thumbsup:

. i nailed a couple of good pigs my self on my trip . great trip , my stalking skills improve with each trip i do. i walk at about the same pace as slow moving sheep and cattle and it doesn't upset the birds . i don't look directly at roo's wallabies with the same slow walk , and they don't panic and spook everything else . got in real close to some wedgies having a feed on a roo carcass. man they were massive . freakin' magic . i love going bush :D

I remember seeing a wedgie back in the 90's that I thought was a pig at first. There was a pig carcass about 100m away and I could see a black shape on it. I thought it was another pig, as it had its head down on the carcass. Then it flew off. It was a monster. I have been lucky to see a few up close, they are very impressive.

I think I posted this b4. Wedgetail chick flew into my campsite and sat on my bed beside me. Dj sent me a boar pic from your trip.
