Well I would like to share a hunt with you guys.I will keep it somewhat short.Saturaday here in VA was a wet and windy mess.Me and and my ole pal Nook decided to wait the storm out till about 10am.,and hunt all day.
  Still abit nasty out we headed out to the farm we hunt.I went to one of my favorite spots,any how around 11 am I heard some turkeys.They started to filter in around me.They proceded to feed on the white oak acorns.I patiently watched as two of them kept getting closer.
  I then heard one putt and decided it was come to an end shortly.Well one large ole hen was too focused on feeding.She inched out from behind a little cedar,and I had a 12 yd shot,released the arrow and she took out fluttering her right wing.
  The arrow sent her to her death about a 100 yds plus  found her piled up.Unfortunly I didn't find her to the next morning,nonetheless I got my first turkey with the longbow.I won't get into the deer story.Sorry for the length but I was getting excited again,I wiil get pics later....

Man, all these great pics and hunting stories!

Claudia, are you giving lessons yet?    :readit:  

Bill, big mulie in the velvet like that is my dream animal...congrats on a super deer.

Paul, it's a good thing I don't live there....with pigs and scenery like that, I'd probably end up divorced.

Al...Mark certainly makes a nice recurve. I've been looking for a place to hunt reds up in the Brisbane and Mary valleys for years now. Hopefully one day I'll get lucky.

Ratgunner, I estimate that pig would have gone well over a hundred kilograms live weight, he was a fat porker.

Bill, that is one mighty fine looking buck.

JC, I've had a very good run this year, with my wife giving me her blessing to go hunting quite a lot. I am leaving for a 3 week hunting trip up in Cape York peninsular in a few days time, chasing pigs, dingos, brumbies and maybe a scrub bull if I'm lucky. I believe my wife is going to put the brakes on for a while after I get back, as far as hunting is concerned that is, and I may not get out until after Christmas.

Its been a big wet season down here in OZ this year helped along by a couple of Cyclones one a Catagory 4 the water is still laying about all over , the growth of grass and Hogs has been in step , I have never seen so many fat pigs.
   

We got nice and close to Large mobs each day and had a great time with the bows and the camera.
   

There are areas busted up the size of city blocks as these pigs work the soft ground over

Nice shot, James!  I am raising a beagle pup and creating some habitat on my property, with cut trails, brush piles and brier patches, so that we can have some fun with our bows this winter with the rabbits.

Looks like you're having some real fun with those OZ piggies, M. Silence.  Nice field photos!
