Who wants to go to OZ with Andy?

[IndianaBowman]

Sounds fun! Any possibility of a add-on trip for the Asiatic water buffalo?

Andy I will answer this one...lol...

I have a number of clients who do double hunts due to the expense of travel.

Buff/Hog hunts can be done but time frame is restricted to July/August.

Last Buff Hunt for my season end July and first Hog Hunt beginning of August. You will also need a least 4 days betweeen hunts because they are approx 40hrs driving between them. You can either fly between hunts and lay up and relax for a couple of days or travel back with us and see a lot of OZ. Travelling with us is much cheaper and can save you up to $1000 per hunter.

These hunts would be on a 2 hunter maximum and only one of these double hunts a year at this stage will be available.

Other double hunts available are:

Hog/Chital Deer(Axis)(12 or 16 days hunting)(August/Oct)
Red/Chital Deer (11 days Hunting) (March/April)
Buff/Chital (12 days hunting) (June/July)

Cheers
Mick

I would be very interested Izzy, though it looks like I may be getting in a little late. If a spot opens let me know.-Bill

Ok fellas heres a follow up after PM-ing with Mick.The base price is not 3500.00 as I posted earlier but 3300.00, so  200.00 extra for travel,scrub bull fee and or beer in moderation and post hunt of course.Other than big, mean Australian hogs,dingo, brumbies (feral hoss's) and feral cats which are hell on native game and fauna the world over and lastly fishing for baramundi,catfish and saratoga would be availabe although Mick says the dingoes are rare..Unfortunately buff and chital will be difficult even as an add on as the buff season is June/July. Axis would require extensive additional travel.

          As for the payment schedule 300.00 to secure the hunt after we have a firm headcount sometime in November.2000.00 4 months prior and 1000.00 upon arrival in Oz.

          A peliminary list including 5 alternates is: Myself,Robtattoo, Jerry Wald,PDK25,Danny Rowan,Cacciatore (I Think You Voiced An Interest, Get Back To Me Bud)Indianabowman, Bill Langer, Traviis17, Wapitimike1 and Hogdancer.
        We still have a lot of time unless as Jerry mentioned the Mayans were right but as you all know the sooner we start planning and poking questions around the better off we will be.Im as good as there God willing, even if I draw another moose tag for Maine that year.
        Mick will be hunting for a week after tomorrow so it will be a while before he can answer any more questions.

         Lets Hunt, Izzy

Sounds good izzy...thanks for the update.

I just made 2 grand on the olympic womans hockey game so that will go in my account.

It was a great game btw - some hard hitting and some nice goals.

If things don't pan out for some one I'd would surely go.

[Danny Rowan]

Sounds good to me, I am all set.

Just did a cursory check of flight prices (nashville-cairns) & had a very pleasant surprise!
Did you know, that flying with Quantas it's cheaper for me to get from here to Australia,
than it's ever been to get to the US from the UK?!

How cool is that!

I'm halfway tempted to book a flight now & beat the rising fuel costs!  

[hunt it]

Thats just for you Rob! Your luggage will cost you extra!

[Izzy]

The plane ticket prices suprised me, always thought theyd be much more.The only nasty thing is 30 hours from JFK. Can you say TRANQUILIZER? I thought 6 hors out west was bad.  

[pdk25]

Can't wait to go.  Dave, I might take the your dakota along for the trip.
