View Full Version : Cape York Scrubber..
Hay Guys.. Got this nice scrubber while hunting with a good friend last week in Cape York..
The shoot was taken at about 18 meters broard side and to my surprise a complete pass through with the arrow embedding into the tree behind him..
The bull barely knew what hit him dropping him where he stood within 60 seconds.. by far my cleanest kill on such a big animal..
cheers Guy..
congrats guy he is an awesome looking animal.
Nice work with the curve Guy:)
And a great scrubber too
Awsome stuff mate. What poundage bow, how heavy arrows, which broadhead - would like to know all these things please :D
Great bull mate, he certainly is a big old bugger. Welcome aboard.

Very nicely done there mate and he has big horns to boot. Curious also on the gear you used.
Well done!
That sure is gutsy to take a big bull like that with a recurve!

Everyone has said it and I won't......Not just yet.
Reason being I would like to read the whole story...ya know the whole kit an caboodle.
Buy the way..Very very impressed on an effort well deserved of the smile you have.
Well done on the bull with a recurve...Doesn't look like there is much feed about up there,sure is skin and bone...:eek::eek::eek:
Cheers...Sparra
Thanks Guys for your kind words..
In answer to some questions.. "Outback Preditor" was right on the money..
My bow is a Great Plains SR Swift take down recurve.. It measures 60" AMO 70# @ 29" I had Bill Forman build it for me along with two other sets of limbs 50# and 60# about one year ago.. Iam very happy with it as it is quite fast yet still smooth to draw..
As for my arrows they are Carbon Express Heritage 350s tipped with tusker aztecs and 5'' shield cut feathers which fly perfectly out of my 70# bow..
Sorry ''Garden Gnome" There is not much else to tell other then I was chasing pigs at the time, with two failed stalks on good pigs due to swirling winds and a caramel brumby.. This scrubber unknowingly walked up on us while we were checking wallows down an old creek bed..
cheers Guy..
