Just returned home from weeks hunting in Darwin Picked Matt up at the airport and straight into it. Some big days.
Very hot and most of the country unburnt, or burning. so the hunting was going to be tough.
Heres some pics and descriptions of how it went. Cheers Mick
London guns 500 J CZ 550 505G
Fire burnt down to camp
8 KM in on the first morning we found a small mob of buff , very hard to make out in the smoke haze so closed the gap to around 70m.
Matt got his first then some fast shooting for 6 hitting the ground.
