For all those who are unsure where Walcha is, it is in NSW between Tamworth and Armidale abot 2 1/2 hours west of the coast of Coffs Harbour.

Here is a pic of myself on one of our -15 winters days hunts.

Unfortunately on this trip we didn't manage to find a thing. But we had a nice crisp and refreshing walk. :lol:

Anyone else have 'cool' photos to post? Pardon the punn.

Cheers Jo

G'day Pat. The main thing to remember in snow/wet hunting is to wear waterproof boots. Can be quite cold otherwise...

Hey Jay. Thanks for the praise of my deer. Nerve wrecking hunting them but what a feeling when they go down. Hope your first comes soon.

Cheers Jo

Jay,
I have yet to see a pair of waterproof high tec boots
and they are what I choose to wear for hill walking :D :D

when I read waterproof, I think water resistant for an extra 30 minutes 8)

True that woody, I wouldnt go slodging around in the water with them, but there grate for traction in the mud! went to the Warnabul Speedway last weekend and it rained most of the time, didnt even get to see the main race! But i did collect a cupple of inches of mud under my Boots :D (they are the V-Light Boot btw)

Hey Guys, nice pic Jo, bit more snow than this shot. We were camped down Jindy way and the snow rolled in the night before. I would have been wearing my camo pants but they were frozen stiff in the morning when i got up and didnt fancy putting them on!!.

One of the few hunts i've been on where there was more ice hanging off the outside of the esky than in it!!

Cheers,

Maxy
