G'day all,
As the title says I'm an aussie and you can probably guess that I'm a mad keen outdoorsman.
I do a bit of everything, love my bird hunting which is duck and quail here, in the summer it's all varminting (rabbits, hares, foxes and kangaroos) but my passion is definitely big game hunting. I mostly chase red deer and fallow but have done a couple of DIY NZ trips for tahr and getting more into the sambar here in Australia.
I've spent most of my life on the dark side of hunting (using things that go bang) but in the last couple of years have done a little bow hunting.
It got interrupted when I bought my German Shorthaired Pointer (we use them to hunt deer in Aus) but now that she's a little older and a little more well behaved I'm thinking it's time to start taking her out with the stick and string.
I do a little guiding on the side (much prefer getting archery hunters too!) but the vast majority of what I do is hunting DIY free range animals for myself here in Aus and in NZ.
The missus and I are getting married next October and the following year we're planning on heading over to the states. I've worked my magic and managed to convince her that after 2 weeks holiday I deserve a 2 week hunting holiday seeing as I'm already in one of my top hunting destinations in the world.
Still up in the air at the moment as to exactly what, it's a toss up between elk, mule deer or whitetail hunting or a combination of them, most likely on public land (rather avoid guiding fees if I can as the trip will cost enough as it is with holidaying and tags). I briefly considered trying to tee up a hunt swap but then remembered you guys have just about everything there in Texas!
At any rate, it'll be good to see a few of the animals you guys take, hear a few yarns and tell a few stories of my own.
Here are a few pics to show you guys some of what we hunt on the otherside of the big water. Unfortunately I'm not real savvy when it comes to computers with shrinking files and such so you'll just have to follow the links.
Cheers,
JP
