Turtle Snack
I’d guess about 3 foot long and 2 and a bit foot across - most of the turtles that feed here are about that big. The croc would have a head length (snout to start of body) about 4 foot long -
Turtle Snack
YES definitely. I was asked by a Canadian where he should swim when he travels north - my reply was the motel swimming pool. Even though they call them an Estuarine Crocodile (saltwater) they thrive in the fresh water. There are some HUGE crocs in the fresh water lagoons living mainly on hogs... -

Turtle Snack
Did some fishing in the north of the country this weekend in crocodile country. Not my picture BUT One of the locals was captured snacking out on the beach. This a proper one - all of 16ft and king of his realm - Definitely no swimming here. -
Landscapes (pics)
I took this pic when I did my big Montana adventure. We did a day trip into Yellowstone. I realised very quickly, should have taken 2 batteries for camera -
Living in Australia
I’m hearing ya. The only ones making $$$ from roos are the panel shops. They make a resounding “dong” when they hit too. -
Who else is running heavy/high FOC?
BIG BIG fan of heavier arrows. Weight is king for me. My std set up is around 550gn and up to 600gn. Recurve arrows are up around 650gun mark. If they work go for it. The heavier arrow will make bow quieter also. I was concerned going back to 500gn for my recent elk hunt But all worked OK. -

Outback boar hunt
Good stuff. Good condition on those boars. They seem to be able to thrive even through drought. Have the places your hunting got any exclusion fences ?? Hope it rains soon - there are plenty doing it real rough here.- OzzyDave

Shooting a bedded animal with a bow - go or no go? (I have not, but almost had the scenario)
I took these couple of pics of my buddy just before he loosed his arrow on this bedded hog. It was a warm day - crazy pig was bedded in the sun in 120 F. It was hit hard - he shoots 700gn arrows. It made it maybe 4 feet from its bed before it tipped over. -
Lesson learned.

Box full of foxes
They are a sucker for a distress call for sure. That’s a good evening. Foxes are bread and butter animal to hunt here. The US foxes understand Australian - I took one of my mouth predator calls on my big Montana adventure. Saw a fox in a field early one morning. Just for giggles I pulled the...- OzzyDave

Shooting a bedded animal with a bow - go or no go? (I have not, but almost had the scenario)
Our archery association has printed vinyl animal targets of Australian feral animals legal to hunt with bow. 2 of these are bedded animals. It’s nothing like taking the real animal BUT it certainly focuses the hunter on where they have to hit the animal for a lethal shot. -
Broadhead for elk, deer and pronghorn
I’m a recent Viper Trick convert. I used them for the big Montana adventure. I hit my bull right in the triangle from 40 yards. I watched the arrow blast through him and up the hill, never to be found. Same arrow set up punched through the antelope and buried into ground 40 yards past him. -
Shooting a bedded animal with a bow - go or no go? (I have not, but almost had the scenario)
Our hunting is 99.9% spot and stalk, so bedded animals are regularly encountered. 2 things that stand out to me are: 1) I’d have to say knowing the anatomy of the animal and how the position or protection of those vitals change when the animal beds, is important. We tend to hunt hogs in the... -

First Antelope
That would make an interesting conversation with the car rental company :cool: -
First Antelope
Rutting stag smelled similar to elk to me. To me, pronghorn was sort of like an intense sage or herb smell. -
First Pronghorn Hunt a Success!
Nice stuff. I can agree 100% that it is addictive.
