So,tonight while admiring this poor fellas parking,I looked down to left and saw wallaby that's been avoiding me all week.

And managed to shoot another one in torchlight off side of track riding home on four-wheeler.bike still running,poppy sitting behind me,torch in left hand looking up to right,the wee trebly has crap trigger but just plurry works lol.

‘the wee trebly has crap trigger but just plurry works’

Ya can’t ask anymore than that mate.

well my wee holiday is over....AND those plurry wallabies had the last laugh on me...over last fortnight I have managed to shoot four,all up back of farm.ive watched driveway for hours,stood and froze watching,snuck down at sunset,snuck down in middle of night but didnt see a one..today,driving out with rifle buried in rear of wagon we saw not one,not two but three of the huas sitting out in open laughing at us,two of them were on driveway itself..and one was still sitting on side of track ten minutes later when I walked back up to conceal key..rifleless of course.

LOL. Thats always how it goes.

That’s pretty much about par for the course mate. Like me, you couldn’t win a king hit in a pub brawl.

all said and done it was an awesome 2 week break from town...a chance to relax and reset. mates dogs were happy and healthy when they returned,pig still alive,sheep all where they supposed to be. so all in all successful all round.I will get those pesky wallabies,like elma fudd with the rabbits...its now WAR...

got out with dogs this morning..74.5lb boar hanging in chiller....all fun n games. plurry neat to see the lads in action,they bailed well .

mate got out again today...stonking boar 185lbs worth...within km of house,he really buzzing with that... big hunk of pork for NZ. anything over 200lb is huge for us.

WOW that is one massive lump of bacon mate. Are the porkers over there clean, or do the suffer with parasites, worms etc?

If they are clean, you have a good supply of pork. Come to think of it…HEY EVERYBODY, we might have a BBQ coming up at Elvis’s place…if Becs can put up with us.

cleaner than a clean thing mate... wild pork is a staple in our household... this boar will hang for few days then Mate will skin it,bone it out and take into local butcher who will chuck it through mincer in about 30 seconds flat!!!! we then bag it all up into pound lots and have great delight in giving it away...never a problem to find willing folks to take it.
my favourite eating pig is sow under 100lb or boar under 80lb. I singe them with lpg flame thrower so the skin is there to keep the moisture in when cooking.

Here's my good mate Bill with his 185 lb boar.

Great pictures! These were so big I've taking a first pass at fixing the bug, and forcing them to auto-size to fit a screen. I'm liking it so far

That’s good mate. I’ve been copying the pics, resizing and reposting, but I’ve been having some problems doing that, hence these not being resized.
