Hunting web site covers a lot of info....aust wide.
Ahh I beat you to this one mate lmao there's a first lol , some of the locations look good also though.
have you used the site previously or like me just found it ? I'd be interested to know how it goes From the hunters point of view.
No mate, just found it to share while looking for fishing spots.Quote:

I'm not a big fan of charter boats. When I've been on a hot spot, the generally move on :(
This fella really knew his stuff, we didn't move till nothing was caught for 5- 10 mins and we wouldn't need to move far at all.
That's the way it should be :)Quote:

@ Macca why not organize a hunting/fishing trip up the cape.
I'm positive you'll get plenty of takers,
Members further north could do the logistics
Yeah this is true but need to be on private land qld doesn't allow state forest and crown land hunting. I don't know of anyone with land up there that's why this website hunting group does well in qld
A fella I know did a weekend out at Tara qld and between the 4 of them they got 70 odd pigs and apparently the farmer was complaining when he drove out to there camp because he drove past some roos.. Turned out he wanted everything shot.
That's no good as unless you're a licensed roo shooter you're not suppose to shoot roos. But 70 pig weekend that would be fun but expensive on ammo!
For some that's a lifetime of pigs :)Quote:

It was a 7 day hunt trip and the first 3 were very ordinary , reckon the previous crew reinacted a scene from the movie apocalypse now. got to know the manager well by the end of the week and told us the next crew were coming 4 days after us .
That's the difference between hunters and shooters :)Quote:

I've got enough kill count on roos with my car I don't need to shoot em also lol
Samford road is keeping me employed full time repairing my daughters car from the buggers. Plus she comes home all teary and I'm not sympathetic enough to her stories. :)Quote:

Damn my record in one night is only 3, I'm going to have to start trying !
That was me trying to avoid them cunnamulla to st George was hectic at least 50 roos every km of road. We left at 3am as it's a 12 hr drive back to brisbane. These roos were suicidal I dropped my speed down to 80km/h and down to 60 in the thick areas. They were on both sides of the road they would run out in front of you and clear the car then double back right into the bull bar
Ive never hit one doing under 80, they usually explode when I hit them I just try not to hit them in a way there head can damage my spotties lol
It was effortless when I drove a unimog truck......if the truck ahead in convoy hit one, sometimes a bone would pierce your bloody tyre. Always avoided the dead fresh ones...
