2010 Another good year in the bush

[tradtusker]

Hi All
I thought while i had the chance id post up some pics from this year, with very little internet access iv been out of contact for quite a while.

I look forward to catching up with all your adventures here on TG over the next few months.

This year has been flat out, alot of time spent in the bush guiding and a bit of hunting here and there for myself. As most know i like to get out and travel as much as i can as well.
Ill let the pics tell the story.

After getting back from the States at the beginning of the year i spent a couple weeks hitchhiking through Europe with my sister which was fun but its getting expensive out there.

After that it was off to Australia, to catch up with an old friend for some hunting, sharpen up the skills for the year to come.
Rory is a hardcore bowhunter and has spent so much time improving his skills and endless hours of time and patience helping new bowhunters start out right.
we had some great hunting and got to meet some good new friends.

Was great to spend time hunting hard with Rory, we have an Africa trip in the plans somewhere down the track.

After that it was time for some "work"    :rolleyes:
I say that lightly but most of you know Guiding work is Long Hard work. The first awake and the last to bed with all your focus and senses running at 100%
But its a wild lifestyle few get an opportunity at!
This was my first year Guiding for Trophy Bowhunts Australia and we had a great year.
 
 
Buffalo camp here we come- a hard few days driving with all the camp gear and supplies.
