Lloyd Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) The central coast NSW . I am having withdrawals its been tooooooooo long between shooting trips.Spent my whole life going to properties at Goodooga , Dubbo , Dorrigo ,Nundle . As a boy my Father took me to these places and taught me everything i know ,and i did the same for my young sons . These properties are no longer available for one reason or another , so unfortunately the shooting gear, motorbikes , and lifestyle that i am accustomed to is packed away gathering dust & anxiously awaiting revival . This web site is as close as i can seem to get to my hobby . Edited June 3, 2008 by Lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdog Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 G'day from southern NSW I'm 10 years old. I go hunting with my dad (220) when ever I can My birthday is in August so I have to wait 14months before I can get a my minors permit I am saving money so I can buy my own rifle. I help dad to skin and peg out foxes we shoot. I sell them to a skin buyer who comes to town and dad lets me keep the money. We will be going spotlighting on the weekend because a friends sheep are lambing and he asked us to shoot some of the foxes that are eating some of the lambs.

minthunt Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hi i am a avid sports shooter and hunter and film producer. I am working on a new 100% Australian made hunting video. Footage is very difficult to come by although I know there is alot out there. This is a real chance to have some of your most exciting and memorable hunts distributed throughout the Australian hunting community. If you have any footage at all or know of anyone who is willing to send me a copy that would be great. I will pay anyone accordingly for footage and look forward to seeing some great blood pumping hunting action.

Caesar Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hi, I'm from NSW, I'm 16 going on 17, I hunt with my dad around the Bathurst area, on a friends property. We used to go there often but not so much these days. We hunt foxes and rabbits there, I recently scored a good fox kill where I shot it from about 100 meters behind the ear with my at the time new .223 Zastava. The same visit I also shot a rabbit with our sidebyside Beretta double barrel shotgun. I do clay target shooting (recently got into it) and I am very addicted. I'm about to own a new Miroku Grade 1 Trap. I'm very interested in shooting and hope to progress my skills in clay target shooting. Guns we own: Beretta Side By Side Shotgun (12g) .223 Zastava with Scope (came with, not sure about tech specs) Miroku OverandUnder Grade 1 Trap. Myself and my brother are both SSAA members, while my dad isn't. I got my license when I was 13 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 G'day, keen Hunters, I live in Northwest Sydney, Try to hunt feral goats,pigs, foxes and rabbits when I can . Just got my R-licence , don't know too much about the process. Still trying to figure out mapping downloads. Been shooting /hunting most of my life . I've hunted on properties in Kancoban in the Snowy, Collector, Kandos , Oberon Region, Nyngan and Mudgee. I do like most law abiding hunters out there miss our now restricted firearms like semi-auto's and pump action shotguns. I had a perfect little .223 stainless Ruger Mini 14. That was a great gun. Luckily there is somewhat a loop-hole in the restrictions that allows pump action rifles. I purchased a .223 Vektor H5 Pump action rifle . Shoots like a die. Even after a full stack on my trail bike filling the barrel and action with dirt, one allen key at the back pulled it right down and after cleaning didn't need to be sighted in. There's my bragg , Glad to be on-board , SAFE Hunting , Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
