I was just reading the thread comparing elevated hunting to ground hunting, and it reminded me of a special hunt I got to share with my brother Nick a few years ago. I'd just introduced him to the bow-and-arrow, and he did really well. Anyway, oneday, he perched himself in a half-dead tree, out on a branch within range of a trough. He waited all morning for a suitable goat to come in, and decided that he'd better shoot this fellow before he fell off his perch in the 48 degree Celcius heat of arid Western Australia. He'd scored his first bowkill a couple of days earlier, and this was his third. It had a good rack of horns, 36" tip-to-tip. You can see the grizzled old tree in the background, the one closest to the trough. The bow is a 60lb Martin Hunter, and he was using aluminium arrows with Grizzly 160s. It was a one arrow kill. Just thought you'd like to see an Aussie treestand...
