Just got back from a 9 day hunting trip that was split up over 3 properties in various areas. I did just over 2700kms of driving to cover it all. I had a heap of fun and ended up with 17 pigs and 2 goats. I could have shot heaps more but left the little ones to grwo bigger for next time. Farmers round up the goats to sell on the live trade, so I only shot two of the better ones I saw.
Here's some pics of what I shot and some more Australian scenery for you. Enjoy.

The 1st place I hunted was with a friend and his dogs. We only got 3 pigs and one goat

As you can see, my mate hunts in thongs, he's mad coz there's snakes everywhere out that way.

Brekky time

Wow! That's one of the best hunting reports I've ever seen. Your buddy is definitely crazy to be hunting in thongs.(I hope you're referring to the shoes and not the underwear that go up the butt crack.

) If I was out there I'd have the tallest snake boots you can buy. Congrats on a great getaway hunt and thanks for sharing it with us! 8-)

Life is just a series of obstacles preventing you from fishing.

Cheers for the comments guys. Makes me want to get out there and do some more. I certainly had fun in the process of taking photos

Don't worry Troy, you got it right, thongs are those little slip on shoe things. I usually just wear long pants as snake protection.

As for the meat, you're probably not gonna like my answer. We leave it there in the paddock. Some is used for dog food, but generally it is wasted. This was simply a hunting trip for fun with no meat intended to be brought home, it is too far anyway with the gear I have. Deer are always brought home for food though, but they are generally closer to home too.

Looks like you boys need to win lotto then and get your arses over here.

Yeah mate. Pigs are a feral pest in OZ, an environmental nightmare in some parts. Most farmers like to see the pigs shot and don't really care what you do with them. Some blokes sell the pigs to chillers(game meat buyers, who then sell them on to Europe) but you have to be accredited etc, which is a pain in the arse for most blokes to be bothered with.
