Speer 55gn SP’s were my “go to” bullets in my 223, many moons ago when I was shooting kangaroos for a living. Went through 4 - 5 thousand each season and always dependable results on head shots. The price was always reasonable and I just couldn’t justify going to the more expensive offerings...
Been going through same process for my first elk hunt. Got a chance to shoot some broadheads at target today. Initial shot was about 4 inches low and an inch right. A couple of small adjustments and I’m spot on at 30 yards.
Don’t agree with releasing them. I’ve had this conversation with a raging cat lover. Conservatively, a feral cat will kill 5 small animals a day, and like domestic cats, not all are killed for food. One Territory here has an estimated 3 million feral cats, so 15 million small native critters...
Watched it tonight. If I could give it a double like I would. I’m guilty of doing a lot of fast forwarding on videos, not this time. Was totally mesmerised by this whole video. I wanted it to keep going.
I too heard the cranes - very distinctive call to it. We have a bird here we call a Brolga -...
You could duplicate same here is Aus. Been seeing a few more of the US trucks on our roads in the last few years.
My upgrades have been practical for our trips. First things that were done were 2” lift, ARB steel front bar, winch and driving lights. The front bar has saved me thousands in...
I reckon if I tried this, I can imagine sheepishly telling the nurse at A&E - Well I tied up this pack rat and shoved it down my pants to clean my boy bits BUT forgot to tie the mouth.
After having issues with the MyFWP I called today and was advised I’ve been successful for a Big Game Combo tag. My 2 hunting buddies have got their tags also. Look out Montana - 3 Aussies will be on the loose in September.
Did some broadhead testing over the Easter weekend on the local hog population with the Viper Trick 125gn up front - complete arrow weight 496gn. I believe I’ve worked out my set up for the Sept adventure.
Shot a 30kg (so 60lb) sow front on from 20 yards - the arrow zipped through her that...
Crikey - look at the head on that thing. (y)
They are addictive to hunt. I took my first ever black bear with bow last year in Manitoba and loved it. I plan on going back BUT doing it with the recurve next time.
Love my BX-5’s. Was watching hogs feeding under the full moon the weekend just gone. Could pick out the boar in the mob. Oh i would have loved to have my recurve with me.
Looks like a road trip for you - good stuff.
I believe our Big Game Combo permits have been successful but awaiting confirmation. I’ve tried creating an account on the MyFWP section. Seems to not recognise my ALS on the system when I try to add the info. Strange because it recognised it when I...
I’m a BIG tick attractant - they love me. A bunch of us use tea tree soap when we shower - ticks hate it. I’ve started using the permethrin and seems to work - hard to say it’s been so dry here.
