2007-Cape York Bowhunters Lodge!

[aussiehunter]

Hello Guys well 2006 has rolled to a close for me here in Cape York I look forward to some civilisation and getting back to chatting with friends and other forum members soon.

I would like to thank all those that sent PMs and emails of support through what was a long and arduous few months, steep learning curve I can tell you.
2006 at Bowhunters lodge was a 100% success and I am looking forward already to 2007 meeting old friends and New.
Next year will be bigger and better.

I would like to thank a few people for whom the 2006 season was made just that bit easier.

Rob Donnelly ( Mathews , Ross, CSS Australian Distributor) ( Without Robs help 2006 just plain may not have worked out Cheers Mate)

Milton Cunningham BHDU mag ( A nicer bloke to represent Bowhunting I don't think you could find)

Graham Cash BHDU Mag (Oh And congrats on the new born)

And to All the other friends & Clients of Cape York Bowhunters Lodge a Big Thanks and hope to see you all next year.

I will post a few more pics of 2006 season soon so standby for to be amazed :wink:

Please PM me, or email the booking office wmcc5994@bigpond.net.au
Cape York Bowhunters Lodge is Run by Bowhunters for Bowhunters, it has what I believe to be the best Facilities in Cape York for this kind of guided Bowhunting.

Bookings are rolling in on 2007 so get in while there is still good time.

The WEB site will be up and running soon with all booking information and a ton of pictures so stand by for that one.

cheers for now.....and again to all those whom made it happen ...............thanks !

[aussiehunter]

Oh well seems a $1000.00 for week of some the best hunting you'll ever find went begging ? Shame ! :shock:

Well these are the Final dates for 2006 28th October - 4th November.

While others are having trouble getting to the Pigs this season !Bowhunters lodge is having great sucess with plenty of good boar's , Dingos, and a absolute fantastic scrub Bull taken a few days back, with around a 90cm ( Yet to be measured properly) spread its one big set.

father and son,john and adam from casino were our first clients.
john managed to take a cracker boar,first morning and its his first ever pig ,let alone boar,what a way to start a hunt.

young clay who is the propertys owners son,just turned 10 late july this year,i sourced him a bow and after a lot of practice each day,came out and took his first ever pig,first ever bowhunt and nailed it with a nice shot at 8 metres.

keep a look out for this young fella,has his eyes set on a boar next time and woody on his visit has left him with a few of his supremes.

my son sam,16 with his first cracker boar,taken at 10 odd metres using my mathews outback [i think its gone now :) ] and tipped with some first cut 145g heads.this head has taken a small scrubber the other day ,this boar and then later another nice boar that i manged to have a crack at.

sam is one happy fella, well done son :)

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m282/Willy099/Picture245.jpg

adam with another nice boar taken at 3 to 4 metres if ur lucky, walking towards him.his mathews legacy sent the blackstump tipped carbon rebel shafts cleanly through him and the boar ran past him and expired at the lagoon less then 15 metres away. great shot :)

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m282/Willy099/bowhunterslodge287.jpg

graham otto who is a very well known hunter up in the north came along with woody for a few days and manged to take a few good boars whilst trialing woodys new range of hunters. very impressive blood trails.

this bloke otto took nicely with his jennings bow and alloy shafts tipped with woodys wide cut hunters at less then 22 metres whilst the boar was enjoying a cooling wallow in one of the dams.

ottos best pig for the trip and i belive pulled a respectable 28 points taken at less then ten metres..well done :)

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m282/Willy099/luke****son066.jpg

the onieda eagle combined with woodys broadheads certainly made short work of this fella.

Geeee what happened to Otto last time I talked to him when I was in Weipa he was shooting bare bow and fingers! I see he taken a step forward maybe, but from a guy that have been bow hunting a VERY long time with over 18 boars over 30 points to his name its good to see that he I willing to try something new, well almost he’s still using those alloys I see.

And well done guys!

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c87/aussiehunter1964/PA190027.jpg

Have a look at these fighting pads,this is why ya need razor sharp cut on contact heads along with a reasonably heavy combined weighted shaft and broadhead. shot placement is key on these boars :)

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c87/aussiehunter1964/PA200060.jpg

Bob Hart came for a good week as well, took this nice trophy boar ,cracking 26 points. clean one arrow shot Kill.

And finally my son Sam went out after the boys all left along with young 10 yr old Clay and on there own ,sam took a clean one arrow shot on this toothy boar at 8 metres.

Used the new Mathews Switchback XT . the boar pulled short and went 25 6/8ths. just goes to show u never know what ull get til u boil them out :)

2007 is going to be an exciting year, Pat & myself wish you every luck and good fortune in your Bowhunting endeavours, a few more of those PUK goats from valley of the giants would be cool to see. Was the highlight for me in 2006 to see that big Billy pop up on here.
