Had a wander down the track on the weekend, took a couple of young fellas out for a hunt back-to-back, while the missus did a practice-run for her big walk (Jatbula Trail) in a couple of weeks. One of the young blokes had never shot a buff, so we found him a keeper to open the ledger. No world-beater, but nice horns with plenty of character. They will look good on the wall down south.

I managed a running shot on a good boar on the first day. I was out wide checking out a couple of small thickets, and jumped him from his bed under one of them. Initially he headed straight towards the other blokes, but did a U-turn round the clump and came back past me heading for the hills. The Jeffery .400 flattened him with a pleasing head-shot.

Bagged a ripper boar on the second day, but unfortunately I left the digital camera with my other pack, and the only photos are in the young bloke's print-camera. He's just gone bush for another week, then heads back down south! Might be a while before I see them. I'll post the circumstances when the photos come to hand.
