Sambar Stalking on Monday - whos coming!?

[gundy]

After about 12 months out of the 'system'...I have braved the return to shooting a compound again...

The shoulder is not 100%, but it feels better than it has in a looooong time. I guess those rehab excercises did help.

I pick the new bow up on Saturday, Sunday - all day fine tuning and Monday.....;)

Whos coming?...................

[DavidJHardy]

what kind of bow are you picking up?

[gundy]

A Reflex Growler Dave. One of the nicest (and cheapest!) bows I have shot...

[DavidJHardy]

year theres not much diff between them and hoyts but the price... my bow pretty nice but next year i think i am going for a mathews DXT but i'm going to wait until there new bow comes out to see what its like...

[gundy]

My brother has a Trykon, they near shoot identical.

I shot a Mathews Switchback and the reflex and chose the flex'.... value for money can not be beat - especially for a hunting bow.

[dazza]

g,day gundy,going wed arvo knocking off at 2.30 ,told the boss i've an appointment with Dr cervis unicolor 'the indian fella'.He just shook his head and walked away.

[adam]

Would love to come along Gundy.

[gundy]

LOL! Good luck dazza. There is a few around at the moment! ;)

Adam, you can get $10 flights on Tiger. I'll pick you up from Melbourne.

Welcome anytime mate...you just have to sign the confidentiality agreement... ;)

[dazza]

yeh mate plenty round here in the thick stuff,been seeing a few out of bow range for me[anything under 25m will do] best of luck to you too!

[gundy]

Dazza, not sure if the same for your sightings, but majority this end have been sighted around 10am....edge of timber - and low....I have not encountered this before...always bedded and in gullies usually by this time...

25 meters is about the norm. Next time, I will have a bow in hand. :cool:

[dazza]

been trying the ambush aproach gundy,early morning/late afternoon just abit to thick most spots down here to hunt bedded deer seen 3 last monday, half an hour before dark the sticks started cracking and appeaed about 50m away.Watched them till dark then snuck out off there,exciting stuff!

[gundy]

brilliant!

tried picking the trails and sitting 30m off them?

[dazza]

yeh or maybe a tadd closer,got a new spot for ttomorrow theres some nice game trail heading down to the black berries[god bless em],will sit off 20m or so.Can only give it a go.

[PATBOWTECH]

Shooting a 80lb trib had put me out of commision for 6mts

just orderd in a new 82nd airborne to the local shop will collect it next week.

if I had it already I would back you up in a heart beat mate.

best of luck with bow and shoulder.

[DavidJHardy]

My brother has a Trykon, they near shoot identical.

I shot a Mathews Switchback and the reflex and chose the flex'.... value for money can not be beat - especially for a hunting bow.

its debatable

[gundy]

PAT, let us know how the Airborne goes...

Dave,
Mathews is to Mission,
Hoyt is to Reflex,
Bowtech is to Diamond...

At the end of the day, for 'hunting', they will all kill a deer and equally as well as the other, no better or worse. Discussion foddder, yes...debatable, no.

Still, I looked at the DXT and it was nice! Remember, just because I may drive a ford xr6, doesnt mean I dont have a Porsche 911 in the shed... ;)

Just spoke to the property owner and he has sighted a stag the last few days coming down onto one of his house paddocks. I cant wait to check it out.

[dazza]

good luck for monday bloke!

[robvic]

If you see my game camera tied to a tree 2 foot above the ground dont touch it will you!!lol :rolleyes:I have a feeling your going to only be about 300km away!!.....not sure how powerful the sensor is:cool:300km might just be out of range!!:P
Seriously, without giving away too much info, what area roughly are you heading? PM me if you dont want to say here.

[gundy]

I dont want to say here....LOL!

I'll PM you mate, I dont mind sharing spots. If you go there with a bow and take one, then you ahve earned it!

BTW, I found your camera, I moved it to a better wallow... ;)

[Piggy]

Good luck Gundy.

Cheers Mate
