What a blast! Damn Dan, you sure get around!

               

(BTW, I managed to derail a proposal in Twisp to ban archery practice on private property in town. I'll tell you about it when you get back. No prob.)

Finally had a chance to catch up on this guys, iv been Flat out since your trip, and already back in SA right now.

Really was a great trip, got the timing just right for the rains as well. One of the best hunts of the season.

we nicknamed Cam "Boss Hog" after killing that monster. He was pretty chuffed about it, and well deserved after hunting hard after picking up a bug on the plane. Cam had us all well entertained back in Camp.

Dan and I got into a few adventures over the trip, i could not tire him out "the only hunter of the year that i could not"
Dan's got a great hunting Instinct on game, not scared to try anything and just pushes on and on.

Really was awesome to have you guys out there!
all the best for the rest for the rest of the year.

Dan we need to chat NZ high country for 2013

Hey Mick and Andy, good to see you guys on here, hope all is well.  Andy I'm looking forward to hearing how things wrapped up for your last trips on the cape.

I'm glad this came back up to the top.  I realized I have one more tale to add.  Saving the best for last as they say.  This one wasn't the biggest in terms of ivory in the mouth, but for me it pretty much summed up the cape york hunting experience.

It was the last day and Andy and I had been walking all morning, several miles through some of the best looking hog country a person could imagine.  It was so good I knew that at any moment we were going to be right on top of a boar.  Well this went on and on and the day got hotter and hotter,and eventually it started getting hard to stay focused.  The pigs should have been in there but they just weren't.  when we were about 100 yards from calling it a day we finally found what we were looking for.  The boar was bedded on a small water hole, the wind was OK, and he wasn't aware of us-so we had a chance.  The stalk was a crawl through tall grass with Andy giving me hand signals so i could keep my head down.  When I peeked up to check on the pig he was still asleep in the mud and laying at a good angle.  The arrow was the way I wish they all could be and hit right where I was looking.  The penetration worried me a bit, but a look through binoculars revealed a river of blood pouring out along the shaft.  What a great way to wrap up a wonderful experience

 

[Jesse Minish]
