Re: Stalking Scrubbers

Thanks Edward.

The land is part of a hunting concession held by Hunt Australia Safaris - part private cattle station, part Aboriginal lands. I was there on a week's guided hunting, primarily for water buffalo but there is a wide range of game on this place. Just a shooter's license required, Matt Graham from Hunt Aust. can organise international firearms permits I believe.

Because of the logistics up there and the heat, meat recovery is very difficult. Some is taken from various animals for meat and biltong, but most is used as bait stations for the hunting of wild boars. Yes the bulls can get cranky, we never got charged but had a couple of hairy moments. People do say they will charge more readily than a buff but I've never experienced either. At no time did I really feel unsafe, just respectful of a large wild animal and happy that I was carrying a large bore rifle!!

Cheers
