As is common I didn't start taking pics until the goat came out of the oven

I didn't take any pics of the critters either, given I left my camera at home - the one here was using a mobile phone. Dunno if the rest of the guys took pix of theirs either....

Steve - I got one by default, that is all I am saying - and could have got one the following day but after a perfect stalk and positioning missed a sitter shooting downhill - very steep slope and I didnt allow for it and the arra went high - the release was not all that good either BUT note in picture small red dot in top right hand area. Where I am standing is about 100 yards from camp. The red dot is where I missed. That would have been a long walk with a bunch of meat that would have ended up in the Chiropractors

Nope - left it at home deliberately - no room in bumbag after factoring in snacks, game meat bags etc.

You better get a bigger bag mate, we all like to see what your eyes get to see when out bush.

I've got a couple of pics I can post at home this arvo.

looseplucker · #15 Post by **looseplucker** » Fri Sep 03, 2010 10:40 am

Mate, I've seen some truly horrible things when out bush - mostly around the campsite first thing in the morning - white abdominal flesh, brickie's cleavages....

And all of it in relation to people much taller than me....

That's right tjensen. They're what recurves turn into when they grow up...

(runs and hides)

I also don;t have any photo's of my 2 but here's some more of the region. It's a pretty spectacular spot and a seriously good walk!

There's been a heap of rain there recently. This river is normally 1/4 to 1/2 this size and you can walk across it in most places

Tommo · #17 Post by **Tommo** » Fri Sep 03, 2010 9:08 pm

Nice looking valley. Just goats on the place or a few deer or pigs floating about too?

#18 Post by **Stickbow Hunter** » Fri Sep 03, 2010 9:44 pm

Nice country alright, thanks for the photos Bill.

Jeff

Gringa Bows · #19 Post by **Gringa Bows** » Fri Sep 03, 2010 9:52 pm

Very nice country.

billb · #20 Post by **billb** » Fri Sep 03, 2010 10:02 pm

Tommo
There's definitely pigs about. Seen a couple and heaps of sign but no luck - yet.
Supposedly Tom has seen a deer there but not recently.

LP and I saw 4 pigs on Sat morning and got a stalk in but no pork for our forks, and I have seen plenty of fallow sign. We saw a mob of pigs out in a paddock (running away

) on our drive out too.

Can't blame them for running, they must have seen the goat tree before.

Good variety for you blokes in some great country.
