Me, at present I'll be going back to Australia to help a few guys get water buffalo, scrub bulls, pigs and maybe a banteng. I am going to get serious about finding a good CAPE BUFFALO hunt for me, maybe I can find someone to trade me one for a water buff hunt!

What you said made me laugh. I'll put what I heard you say in food terms equivalents cause I know that best.
"Someone invited me to eat a 2# medium rare prime rib with them but that means I can't eat the kernal of popcorn that I was going to eat.....LMAO."

This kind of stuff adds up, and besides, we will be hunting hogs in OZ. And I have one other out of state hunt scheduled in Nov., plus all the Idaho hunts.
Anyway, I'll see you guys in March in SLC.

Mark look on the bright side, as the 8th Dwarf said "don't worry about the money, maybe you'll get lucky and die before you have to pay the bills!"

And in the long run, my kids can look forward to a bunch of antlers and hides for their inheritance, but probably not much else. So sad.
Post by: Larry Yien on January 10, 2006, 11:23:00 AM
After that I hope to do some hunting and fishing but haven't put that together yet. I was hoping to talk with you and Don in SLC and see if I can get things brewing.

I guess you will be shooting the IFAA shoot? It is only about 15 minutes drive from my door step here in Maryborough. I won't be shooting in the comp though.
It is a nice part of the world even if I say so myself. There is plenty of fishing in the area but there is no hunting.
All the best with your plans.

I'll let you know what happens.
So if you like to drop by before you go to OZ, you're welcome (kind of training for those buffs) :bigsmyl:

If you come to the territory in the next few weeks you will be greeted by our monsoon season which basically means the best thing you will get is a wet ass :( unless of coarse you like fishing and a barramundi would the a good fish to chase. Access to most area's is totally cut during our wet season so like ricks says May onwards would be your best bet, though I would reccomend from late August to early December which is our prime hunting time in the territory. ;)

Brisbane is by far the closest international airport. Maryborough/Hervey Bay is only about a 1 hour flight or 3 hrs by road from Brisbane.
The shoot location is only a 15 minute drive from either Maryborough or Hervey Bay. Hire campers like you mention are easily available.
I would offer you a bunk at our place but I am unsure if I will be here for a couple of reasons. That weekend the 'Australian Recurve and Longbow Muster' is also held. It is the biggest Trad shoot in Oz. I may go to that. If I don't go to the Muster I have planned on being in the Northern Territory hunting buffalo. I am unsure of when I will hunt at this stage as we are waiting to see what the wet season does.
You should perhaps try the host club as they may have arrangements for billets. Hope that helps.

PM me an e-mail addy and i'll send you a .JPG.
It is a decent sized boar, largest head of any I've shot but I have shot a bigger bodied one. Neither are anywhere near the size of the beast that RicMic shot in Alberta!

Shoe and I are headed ove right before PBS to Hawaii and maybe Maui. There are supposedly some on the property that we will be hunting part of the time. We'll try and shoot one for you!

looks like I'll have the chance wednesday to have a all day in the field, if so I'm going after the one that is more inland, and more prone to be for real.
keep you posted

I appreciate the information you've provided me so far, I wish I could attend the muster with you. Bad timing that both gatherings are at the same time. :mad:
Let me know if you get any leads on housing/lodging. I'd like to do it on a budget and spend my savings on some fishing or hunting.
Regards,
Larry

I took aim on it a couple times but it quickly turned away and walked outside my effective range. I might of spooked it over towards you when you took it down. Who else was bidding on the hunt over by you. It was just me and Mark V. on our side of the room.
