Good work fella's! Some damn fine hogs there.

[Hefty]

Wow, what a tally!!! :shock:
Is that about average or better or worse than usual for the area? Seems pretty darn good to me?
Well done to all involved!
BTW, Maybe it's just the picture angle but does that scrub bull have eyeballs?! It looks like it's just got sockets.

Jono.

[Sparra]

Well done Mick,looks like a good few days..The overseas connection sure cleaned up..Doesn't look like to many old heads in the group photo mate... :wink: :wink: :wink:

Hefty mate the scrub bull got done over by a few crows as we took the photos the next day when he was easier to handle.

The year has been rather wet so numbers have been down.

Here is a swamp photo i merged together.
I dont think anyone took a pig on this swamp but I saw a few on it when we arrived and a big boar ran off one morning from the sound of the car.
After that we parked about 500 metres down the road and 1 evening me and phillip waited on it till dark but nothing came in.this is when i took this photo

more photos and stories to come

[Jeffro]

There were quite a few of these around , I think I saw 3 different ones and the other guys were saying they'd seen them too.
Its fantastic to see stuff like this
especially when there is not a sound to be heard other than the birds and the wind.
Up there I didnt even hear a plane for the whole ten days
