WINNER: TENTERFIELD SCENERY
Tex Grant says he’s new to hunting and we reckon he’d be addicted now after stalking goats in that magnificent countryside! He and two mates spend three days hunting it on foot.
GRIZZLY BOAR
“With pig numbers out of control and things starting to dry up I got the call from the property owner out Western NSW were I’ve had access for over 35years,” says Paul Elder. “The numbers are that thick it’s actually scary for property owners trying to make ends meet. I decided to hunt a particular spot at the back of the property where the thick tree line meets a crop. Getting the wind right and overlooking a well-used game trail, I knew I was in for an awesome afternoon sit. I heard pigs late in the arvo and they finally came into this spot. Sure enough, I glassed two solid boars that needed to be dispatched quickly. With the Tikka .308 and 150gn Core Lokts, it did just that. Two big, mature boars were down literally only 50 metres from my glassing position.”
STUBBLY FOX
“Where are you hiding, Mr Foxy?” wonders Paul Child. “I will find you!”
WINTER FOX
Andrew Collis and his son Phoenix spent some time hunting in the Meandarra/Flinton area of Queensland during the June-July holidays. “Phoenix hit up this fox with his .22,” says Andrew. “He is continuously learning about hunting. He helped me skin the tail and it is currently getting cured for him so he will have a fox tail to hang up in his room. The fox had quite a good, thick coat, which was a bonus.”
CHILLY BILLIES
Gary Theiss had a chilly start to his day. “After the frost cleared up, I got in the ute to check fences,” he says. “Came across a small mob of billies. Net result — three down in two minutes. The third broke a horn and was a solid lump — a bit much to drag over to the others. Even though it’s only 10 degrees, it’s a cracker of a day.”
BEN’S COMEBACK HARE
“After moving interstate about 10 years ago I gave up shooting as I had nowhere to hunt and didn’t want to be that person always asking,” Ben Pomroy says. “Having recently moved out of town, I jumped at the opportunity to get a new .22LR and have started putting food on the table again. This is my first hare taken with the new rifle after sighting it in. Couldn’t be happier!”
