Saluki Ibex Christened....
Hi All,
I thought all might like to have a look at a nice boar I took with the new Saluki a few weeks ago....!
I figured that the pictures may tell the story better then I could have....!!!
Cheers Guy...

Re: Saluki Ibex Christened....
Great photos Guy! Well done on blooding the Ibex! That boar has great character - rough looking bugger!
The best trophies I can hope to acquire as a husband, father, friend or hunter are MEMORIES!
They will travel with me wherever life's path leads...

Re: Saluki Ibex Christened....
Wow! That is an incredible sequence of photos! Well-done!
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

Your right Jeff, the boar didn’t know I was there... but he knew that there was something amiss.... he had a little look in my direction... that when I knew I had to take the shot and not push any closer.... from memory it was from about 18-20m...Jeffro wrote:looks even better than on your camera mate, he is a beauty

Thanks mate, the blood was pumping, but not as much as normal... I was too bloody cold and wet..!gidget wrote:What a sensational set of photos They sure tell the story well. Photo 4 had my blood pumping thinking you could get busted at any time

Thanks mate, the bow is SWEEEEET...! I am really enjoying shooting it...! I had a ball with it down a Wisemans ferry shoot last week... The arrowmaster I have been using now for 3 years... I love it...! It was perfect for that particular hunt as we had loads of rain and my fletches were all kept perfectly dry...wishsong wrote:Awesome Bud ! Great photo's !

Hi Macca, As we have all noticed the boar is a bit of a woollie bugger, you would think he is from down the snowy's... but no, he was taken in the mountains a couple hours not far from where I live...Macca wrote:Awesome Guy, as others have indicated, nice sequence of pics.

The Bow really did you justice Congrats mate The expression on your face does say it all.
You had a great hunting partner, Kev prides himself on perfection, Man what a hunt that must have been, now saved in colour. I have seen Kevs mounts its gonna look fantastic, man you gotta post it.
I happened to be in Bathurst on the Thursday of the hunt and you copped some nasty rain and hail

Re: Saluki Ibex Christened....
Mate! That's the best sequence of hunting pics I've ever seen! Pretty fearsome looking beast, too, that boar! Brilliant, Guy!
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!

Thanks mate, the boar was keeping close guard on an in season sow... there were two young boars also wanting a shot at his title, so when I flicked an arrow into him, his attention went to the two young boars.... luckily for me...!!Moreton wrote:Mate!

Hi Macca,
Yeah... your right....! I have never hunted down that way before, but when I head down the south coast and go through Goulburn, it is very similar country...
