Good luck guys! Should be an great hunt; expecting to see a lot of pics.

Mel, I don't think running speed is critical just work on your vertical jump and hang time. Come done behind them hostile hawgs and watch them chase Dave thru the brush.   :wavey:

Mel, Ted is away bear guiding for a few weeks, you're gonna have to wait on those shafts. And don't worry about snakes, can't be any worse than a javie under tin - I've seen your mad moves. Good Hunting!

You are in for a great adventure!

The absolute most fun I have ever had was while hunting was in Australia. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard for so long, or had as much adventure packed into a few short weeks.

The first photo below is a few of us hanging out in the evening (anyone recognize the cantankerous guy in the middle?). We were having a drink and listening to the red stags roar after sundown and making plans for the next morning's hunt to go after them again.

The second photo is of two pigs I shot in the long grass during a huge fight that erupted when a pack of Dingoes attacked the herd. It was wild, as the boars that were in the herd that couldn't find a dingo to fight just attacked each other and the fight was on. Dingos snarling, pigs squeeling and fighting, and two arrows in the air. Man, it was WILD!

Then it got real hairy as the boar ran a big circle and came right at me with a two-blade broadhead sticking out  one side. He was running at warp speed and the wicked-sharp blade missed my leg by two inches or less as I jumped out of the way. Crikey Mate!

 (P.S. Stalking the long grass can get a bit scary at times, you can't see the pigs until you are at point blank range.)

Grinch, it sounds like he really needs someone to walk point for snakes! Maybe that job is available  :)  I'm not much on snakes either!

Thanks for all the well wishes and offers to lug baggage and run point (snake lookout).   Plenty of pictures will be taken, maybe some video, and with Stinson telling the stories - they will be entertaining!!
