We have just returned from a great trip with the lads from Victoria. Whilst the AFL was a fizzer for the Vic's the hunting was right up there with some excellent game taken.

Jamie & Matt from West Gippsland Field Archers where to hunt with Pete F and his mate but due to circumstances they ended up all alone on the trip and made the most of it.

Jamie has been hunting for 8 years and Matt a relative newcomer for the past 4 years. Matt was chasing his first pigs and was not going away empty handed...nor would we expect him to.

Well after 10 fun filled days the boys ended up with the following:-

Jamie: 1 Scrub Bull, 1 Barra (80cm)
9 Boars & 3 Sows

The boars being 2 R/c's 31DP & 29 6/8DP
4 T/C's 27 6/8 25 6/8 25 4/8 & 25

Matt: 1 Brumby
6 Boars & 4 Sows

The boars being 3 T/c's 27 2/8 26 4/8 & 26 2/8

I got a little huning in managed to bag a couple of Boars 1 R/c 30 4/8 & 1 T/c 25 2/8.

Overall some excellent game was taken a I'm sure Pete will be starting to cry by now so mate here are the Pic's.

Matt and I had a fantastic time up at Crosby. Thanks again Mick.

I got the Barra and the 31pt boar on the same day.

I was still on a high on the way back to camp after catching the Barra that I said to Mick jokingly that if i was to shoot a R/C Boar that I would write a story for one of the Mag's.
So I don't think I can get out of that one.

All you fellers going on the comp will have a ball.

Jamie.

Hi Tac,

The barra was caught on a $30 telescopic rod I bought for the trip, a borrowed lure and 4kg line .
Hows that for luck.

It will give the boys on the bow comp somthing to aim for.
Watch out for the big lizards :)

Jamie.
