bluedog Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 G'day, I'm located in Gippsland and when I'm not working I'm out chasing game, Having several properties to hunt on I am never short of opportunities to hunt pests or meat for the freezer of which my family and friends love to eat. From hunting game birds , foxes and rabbits with the shot gun I maintain my shot gun skills with clay targets of which I try to shoot every fortnight. Current rifles are .22, 223 Rem, 303 British and the 30/06 Springfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yonk Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 G'day I'm from Perth WA, done some hunting over the years and am planning to get back into it after a duration.

The Harrow Ball. Went to it a few years back. Mum and Dad live at Casterton which isn't too far from edenhope. Also dated a girl from near Harrow a while back. I also lived in Hamilton for a year and still have family there too. Some good hunting down that way. Im up here in West Wyalong where the land is mostly flat and dry, not like the rolling hills of around harrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjoeau02 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hi there Im from melb (i do hunt but not much)im mainly drive rally cars i thought you may like this info about can get the new 55w (wow)never seen anything like this) 12V-24V 55W single beam bulb type HID Xenon Light Conversion Kit HID lighting improves durability by 10 times as road vibrations can cause damage to halogen filament, but there is nothing to break inside HID bulb. These light sources also produce a blue-white light that is safer because it is closer to natural daylight. The color temperature is more than 5000K compared to 2300K for halogen. The light output from a 35W HID Xenon lamp is 300% more light than a 55W halogen bulb. The HID Xenon system will also consume much less power from your vehicles electrical system and generate much less heat during operation. HID Advantages + 3X Brigther & more consistent illumination of the road + Increases visual comfort & reduces fatigue when driving at night + Produces blue-white light that is safer because it is closer to natural daylight + 10X Longer Lasting. No need to replace for life of the vehicle + 35% less power consumption, thus generate much less heat during operation you could put 2 sets on and dont have to upgrade anything im also selling these in an oscar typ spot light(its a wicked spot) anyway cheers for now any intrest email me bab0@optus.net.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that after being here for a short while you'll be inspired to hunt more. The boys here will help you with you're first rifle for sure, have a flick through the 'Firearms' thread as I'm sure there's a few topics about that one. Happy hunting, Pete. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirragc Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hi All, Im kirragc from Bendigo. Lately I have been thinking of getting back into hunting after a bout 15 years. Used to hunt bunnies and the occasional fox with shotties and ferrets (seperately) but really wnat to try deer stalking. More than anything its my excuse to go bush, after 5 years of young kids and business commitments its about time for a bit of a hobby. So the plan is to get the licence and permits and get myself a cheap .270 spend some time at the range and out in the bush again and see if I can get some Venison inthe fridge. Last 5 years of bringing up my boys has got me prety skilled in the kitchen and I love game and Pinot. Went to buy some rabbit the other dat and was charged ten dollars for a frozen bunny. I thought there is a better way. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
