Mick, Iv'e only had one close call that I can remember and that was in NewZealand hunting the hills for deer and pigs. On the return trip to the car we were coming down what had to be the steepest decent I have ever done. I lost my footing on the slippery leaf matter and slid down the slope on my ha...

Well I sent an email and am awaiting a responce. So will keep you updated. Seeing as your starting at Mannum you might want to bring your absailing (sp?) equipment as around Mannum is lots of nice high cliffs which are beautiful on sunset and sunrise. lots of native birds in the tree tops and cliff ...

Alicat, pending on how far your taking your trip down stream. If you hit South Australian waters of the Murray EXCEPT for the MAIN STREAM, bow fishing for CARP ONLY is permitted in all back waters of the Murray river. Provided that the activity is undertaken a minimum distance of 50m from any person...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as is the success of a hunt in the eye of the hunter. Everyone has a different idea of what defines success, and some have a very narrow minded view as to what defines success As defined by whom??? Ok lets re-word that then. Some have a very narrow minded view ...

I currently have 160 grain ribbies on my woods and they hit the spot nicely.
Like others something between the 145 to 180 grains would be good

I've got 5 or 6 on mine can't remember will have to get it out later to look.
And yes it slows it down bigtime. It's a 800-900 odd grain arrow to.

Ahh , no matter how you "classify" a hunt ,, it is not a "successful" hunt unless you have grassed an animal ! And lets get one thing straight ,, I compete :lol: More than some So each time you hunt it's not for your own gratification but rather to COMPETE with other hunters????...

Pitty it's the same week of the pending birth of our second
Anyway sounds like it'll be a blast.

I have hunted, i have not downed a deer yet, but they have all been succesful deer hunts as far as i am concerned. How can a hunt be successful if you have not grassed something ? Unless you are talking about the whole "experience " ? A bit like saying ," I went in a successful race ...

perhaps they dont want their numbers plastered all over the internet? Well considering I have one of Barry's business cards in my wallet ,, I would think that maybe he is advertising and a little more wouldnt hurt him ,, maybe even help him to sell some more bows :wink: Wouldnt hurt to have a few m...

Thanks Steven

Mornin' Mick, I apologize for just now viewing this... not that my particular pleadings with the King would have had any greater effect than those which have already moved Him. Prayers... thoughts... and if you need to gab, gasp, or just sit silent, knowing there's someone on the other end... simpl...

Just another one of the many many idiots doing illegal things out there with bows and crossbows.
And JFYI there is infact a crossbow friendly club not far from where this happened.

Well it was on the news again tonight. It was a crossbow used in the shooting. The guy that died was just 26 and has a 5 month old daughter.

Best of luck to you. I'm sure you'll have enough skewers for the pork kababs after seeing how many arras your taking with you.

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. We didnt' get much sleep last night, what with our minds working over time with a zillion diferent thoughts and questions. And work today just seemed to take forever to get to the end of the day, I don't think I even did a 1/4 of the amount of wor...

He is 23 weeks old but is only the size of a 20 weeker. On top of that Jo is ment to have 20 units of emnyotic (sp) fluid...
