Well, well ,Manny. I may have found an excuse to take the wife to the islands after all.
  Which island contains all the axis ?

Jeff/Aussie Stickbow Hunter, the IFAA shoot would be correct! I am still trying to figure out lodging.  Do you have any recommendations?  I was considering renting a caravan(van with a bunk) to drive around and sleep in.  Any idea how that would work?  Is Brisbane the best way to fly in?

Thanks.

Larry,

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.

Jeff

Trevor,

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!

Rick, one turned out to be no good.

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

Hey ASH, would you happen to know Joy Wood or Alan Murray, they are a couple Aussie stickbow archers I've met at IFAA tournaments.

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

Kevin, I'll be trying for the "Wild" turkey in April. Have you seen the beaks and spurs on those birds. Could put an eye out! I'm practicing everyday with my 75# TimberHawk and 700gr arrows.  I want to make the shot count so I'm safe!
