Pay to play place called Windibindle, near St George, Qld.

Caloundra Wide

Ate one, not the other, tooooooo stinkyyyyyy

Mate just sent me a newsletter from an African Safari crowd, Cape Buffalo bow hunts........ would certainly hone one's stalking skills, and perhaps tree climbing skills :-)

Had a 1906 karl gaustaff swedish mauser action many moons ago in 6.5x55 was a helluva weapon

yep, they do the job if the shooter does their part

I'd be a shooter too but keep slipping on my SH#T, couldn't get any good footing to take a shot.
Admire the Deer hunter with all the scent etc, they are a funny breed

that is a nice lookin rifle man.....................

Timmo whats available to shoot over your way, I take it you head south?

nice looking boomsticks, will post mine when I get a chance, 1 of the I have no idea what brand of 12g it is as it's over a 100 years old, that another were handed down through the family.

tossing up the idea of looking at a 223 later on

Translation of first sentence please threedogs (not the bit in caps) :-).

I'd dog pigs too, and between friends I reckon I could put together a team - Red Cattle, Great Dane, Staffie and a Bandog. Except I know for sure that they would not put their dogs put in harms way, and I am far too:
- unfit,
-slow and creaky in the joints, and
-I'd need to start on the little ones to build my confidence :-)

The people that own the Bandog used to have a bull arab/mastif/can't remember cross. It could catch crows in their back yard, which contained a garden shed, the kennel, and what was left of the lawn. Ama2ing!

I dunno much about deer hunters using scent as an attractant, but I have seen some footage of a bloke being worked over by a buck that was funny from this side of the screen. He definitely looked unhappy!! I dunno whether the hunter had scented up with buck smell, or with doe smell - if the latter I can understand the buck's disappointment :-)

Timmo, have to agree 100% . Near on impossible over here in WA for shoot / hunt in any form

Here's mine
green arrow 10kg graphite stick one piece.
Attachment 18804

With an Abu Revo Stx casting reel
Attachment 18805
With 10kg braid

Usually a hard body or soft plastic attached to the end of the line.


....oh hold on, that's fishing ...haha


..........on the move

Hunting fish, I get it, being as one with the water, Spent most of my life fishing the rest I just waste

I'd not bother with a .223 you'd be better to get a 22/250 if that's the size you're after shoots harder flatter and slightly larger projectile and more forgiving for a clean kill compared to a .223.

I have a Remington sps stainless 22/250 with a redfield 3-9 40mm scope currently hand loading barns 55 gr projectiles at about 3200 fps according to the powder chart and load size

Currently eying a remington 700 XCR II 338 Win Mag as I like power and big bangs and want to try deer pig and scrub bulls and camels

Here here, I would go the 22-250 over a 223 any day, the only thing a 223 has is the price of ammo but for a fast flat shooting round that will do many jobs the 250 wins hands down.

Will bare that in mind when the time comes, it won't be for some time yet. Will depend on how often i can get out

My weapon family . 1-Black beauty Rem m700 VSSF 22-250 . 2-The green machine Tikka T3 lite stainless 300WSM , 3-Auscam -Rem model 7 in 308 win . Had a couple of lever actions when I was a lad and the urge to increase my stock is under serious consideration atm .

Well with a bit of luck and a creative accountant I should be back in the game soon with this (thanks for your input Tim) it's a Bear Legion 50-70lb draw weight. 318 fps nearly 100m/s can't wait to get out in the bush to a local park that has 90 different targets from bunny to buffalo size
Attachment 18926


Tap, Tap.......Who's there?

Serious piece of kit that, what would you bring down with that setup???

Wooly mammoths ;-)


Tap, Tap.......Who's there?

Anything from rabbits to pigs or scrub bulls even if ya game enough to get 10 meters from a pissed off bull. Specially if ya hit him in the arse hahahhaa

Here's my setup:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...te/4x4/001.jpg

From the bottom up: 22lr, 223, 303.

22 - Bunnies and hares Nikko 4-12 scope

223 - Hares, foxes hopefully some goats this year - Now wearing a Nikko nighteater

303 - Helped defeat ze Germans during WW2 and will hopefully add some venison to my freezer this year. Got rid of that gash looking Bushnell and it now has a very gentlemanly Redfield 2-7x33.


Have a 98 Mauser rifle project on the go at the moment, new barrel arrived a few days ago, have a nice Boyds thumbhole stock and a set of Leupold mounts. Should be schweet once it's done.

Is that a modifide 303 and the ammo for them was designed to go thruogh the body not much good for
samba even in the early days of deer hunting they lost a lot by the projectile passing through

Yeah if you shoot the military stuff, Pete hand loads with a projectile suited for deer hunting.

I love that rifle and it better be left to me in his will... that and the Springfield .22!!!
