Just got back to uni from 3 months of holidays. Havnt been on this site for ages due to no net at home.
Went hunting a few times, first game i shot was a small billy, 2nd was a hare and 3rd was a nice billy. I was with lincoln (stink989) and Nath (dowto), we drove lincolns Lj80 up the old fire trail to our destination. We then walked along the river in search of game, we came to some long grass with fresh tracks through it made by pigs. I sent nath in first as it was his shot, we walked about 10m into the grass when nath stopped with a stunned expression on hs face and looked down. I then saw a black back only 2m infront of him, he knocked an arrow and she was off into the thick scotch thistle, spooked by the knocking arrow. We waited in silence looking for movement below us, then she appeared about 5m infront of me looking like she would charge. No shot was presented and she took off into the hills. We went back and inspected her nest and found 6 newborne piglets.

We then headed back to the car, upon arrival at the car we were greated by a mob of about 20 goats laying along the river. We stalked in, getting to 50m and the goats disappeared behind trees lining the river. I thought they had sensed our presence so we rushed in finding the goats drinking at the river. They got spooked by our presence and started to cross the river, nath had a shot at a nanny going up some rocks but the arrow fell low. I then drew and settled my 40m pin on a nanny's chest and released watching the arrow fall a tad low and smack into a small billy running up next to her, hitting him behind the last rib and exiting just behind his opposit shoulder.

A few weeks later i downed a hare. I was with trophyhunter at one of our rabbit spots, we had just started off when i spotted soome bunny's and then a hare lumbered into view only 20m away. I drew and released, me n jimmy thought it went high but the hare was down and out in 20m. It turned out it was a perfect double lung shot and my first hare.

Just before christmas i went hunting with trophyhunter and hit and giggle. We drove to our destination, on the way we jumped out of the ute and chased a mob of goats up a hill, josh hit a billy but lost it as the mob lead it away. We then continued to the river where we saw a mob on the opposit side to us, so we crossed the river to find the goats heading back up the hill. Then josh spotted a lone billy laying on the side we had came from, we headed upstream and crossed. It was now my shot so i lead the way around and over rocks towards the bedded billy. When we got to around 40m from the billy he started heading towards us, when he reached the 20m mark i let him have it. The shot was a bit far back but the razor sharp supreme single bevel did its job taking out a lung and major arteries. No follow up shot was required as we found him laying at rest on a ledge 10m above the river at the end of the blood trail.
