Sorry lads just got back from stanthorpe turns out to be 2 x 6hr long nature walks rather than hunting this trip no deer moved off the property But was some freshish poo around but no rutting calls. Saw one pig but couldn't shoot it as the bugger was around the cattle and goat and roo's can't shoot them as jenni's mum is a wildlife person and raises injured roo's and releases them.
I'm back in brisbane for good now so can arrange a shoot on sunday this weekend or next weekend out at the farm or the range either range is fine

where is the farm at macca???? and whats on it or is it a sunday of paper punching either way i would be interested would be good to see if the 308 has held zero or not before i go away at easter once i have voted this weekend i am pritty much free for the rest of it. will pm you with my phone number so you can contact me

I'm thinking sunday the first paper punching at belmont or ripley pending on peoples interest or I can ask our friend next door to the springs 4x4 park to get on her property they have dogs dingo and pig running about with roos should anyone want dog meat or backstraps and tail to stew. need ot ask by tuesday to hunt on her land if she'll let us. I'd like to wait to late april for the rut to be in swing for stanthorpe I really want my first antlers. I'd imagine sunday at ripley for paper punching and some 4x4ing to mix it up a bit the range gets expensive I haven't started reloading yet. If anyones interested in either msg or post here and see what I can do?

Depending on numbers I'll organise a shoot on the farm or the range for sunday the 1st of april I'll have details up sunday night with prices/ ideas for those that are interested. I have access to 2 rifles so everyone can have a go or what ever and after have a last in the patrols either at ripley(if at the range) or the springs if at the farm or I'll ask and you can make your own fun at the back of the farm 650 acres next door to the springs 4x4 park

Hi lads I have a birthday party to go too on sat night so can't hi the farm for a shoot but wouldn't mind hitting the range on sunday and maybe do some wheeling
The range options are
S.S.A.A. Brisbane Inc 292 Mt Petrie Rd, Belmont, Qld 4153
or
"Stewartdale" Property, 1494 Ripley Road, South Ripley.

If you're keen msg or call me on 0412519731
I have 2 rifles at my disposeable and can share for those who don't have one and save some costs of hireing one. just chip in for bullets. After if anyone wants to have a lash in the patrole we could do that too. From memory it's about 20 dollars for range time and a couple of targets plus rifle hire and ammo. I use a 22/250 ( both rifles) and it's about 24 dollars for 20 rounds

I would be up for ripple but belmont would be a bit out of the way for me and yes might be up for a bit of a wheel around ripple

[macca86]

Ripley it is then. I haven't had a drive out at ripley wouldn't mind seeing how far my bog standard gu can go
What time is good for you? Was thinking 10am to 12pm for the range and then a bit of a blat around the bush
