Huntschool , when we talk about hard velvet its talking about when they are tipping out of it or its starting to split on their antlers with the antlers fully formed and hard underneath.
These guys fight like the devil as soon as they rub free their velvet and often break points and even main beams doing it.
A rack shot with velvet still on it is perfect and undamaged and still has all those little pearled points on it that the deer rub off during the year otherwise.
Knife River , No mate that's not a eucalypt tree to be honest I am still not sure what it is , but it was a stand out in the brown.
There were a lot of Aborigines in this area but I dont think they burnt it as they do and did in the Northern Territory , this area dosnt have the rainfall to sustain big burns and regenerate as it does in the top end of the country.
There are a lot of Grass ticks about when its like this and I got hammered this trip (bites all over) but I did very greatfully avoid two strikes at me from an 8 foot brown snake on Friday afternoon (what a way to start a trip)
they hiss like a cat when they are angry and this fella was very emotional.
They are Beautiful arrows I agree , they were a gift and one greatfuly recieved !! that Widow loves them as does my Robertson, I have busted one and lost one now but both in the very best of ways in the job they were designed for.
That little fawn was so neat , the little legs were out like a tripod for the few moments but Mother had it walking within the hour , she would move away a few steps and the little one would follow , then go back , she was so alert and had her head up looking for Dingos or any threat to her little one the whole time.
