Aussie Feral Game Photos...

[JC]

Ben, Joe and I will be there sometime next summer...whatever works into Al's schedule. Probably 2weeks minus the travel time, mostly for pigs or whatever crosses our path. I'm not sure my wife would let me back in the house after killing a brumby or donkey...but I certainly realize the terrible damage introduced species do to the local environment and native populations. I hear those camels are tough critters with big heavy bones. Probably wouldn't intentionally target a buff or scrub bull...but if one crossed my path while out in the bush I might feel differently!

I've been told there are spots that have so many pigs a fellow would get tired of hunting them. I hope I don't find one of those spots...I may have to start looking for a job down there    :rolleyes:

On my trip down under in 06 with Andrew Mackay we hunted buffalo but also had time to kill a pig (or two) and a few feral donkeys.  I had pictures of the donkeys with the rest of my photos from the trip but I eventually took them out of the album.  Every time I got to the donkey photos my non-hunting friends (and most females) would say "Oh, you didn't shoot the donkeys did you?!".  I would explain the whole feral/pest issue but after awhile it was just easier to take the donkey photos out.  They are actually prety hard to get close to and a challenge to get with a stick bow.

Great pics, thanks for sharing! Certainly makes me want to visit. I love the word "brumby." So much the better if using it violates federal law.     The dang mustangs here are incredible pests, and they try to adopt 'em out, but there's no where near enough people who want them. Wish we could hunt them here.

Ben nice pics. I just spent one month at the Telfer gold mine. 2hr flight north from perth. Warmest place I've ever been 48c(118 f). When I saw the red dirt I could feel the heat and imagine the flys. Very cool place thou. I saw lots of dingos and some camels. How far are you from Darwin?

take care

Look Guys.  NO SNOW!!!!!!!!  What's that like???

Do you keep the goat horns?  Lots of uses for them.

[Benny Nganabbarru]

No snow...seems pretty normal to me! I've never seen snow. Of course, "normal" is an objective term. I wonder if snow is like sand, except wet and cold instead of hot and dry?

We keep some of the goat horns for trophies, if they're really good or our personal bests.

Cheers,

Ben
