On my "bucket list" of hunting adventures. Marrakai took me out to Harrison's Dam one evening maybe with Matt Graham (?). I may have fired one shot? No goose. We didn't see much.

I don't see the Top End as "wilderness", certainly near Kakudu. Maybe part of Arnhemland? But perspective, if coming from the UK, Europe heavily populated parts of North America, it might feel like wilderness.

I was at a waterfowl paradise on a cattle station in the West on the Top Enc. The waterfowl in flight darkened the sun. But alas NO SHOOTING WATERFOWL. We were there for boar.

September is a lot hotter than August. October a step up again. November even more difficult .... Early August is better for buffalo hunting. Inland I've never saw many waterfowl. On the coast at Gan Gan, the waterfowl made a rackett way out on the wetlands. Croc waters. Need a boat to get out there.

Thanks for posting. An enjoyable read.

An adventure I aim to participate in one day. Maybe an end of August pig and/or buffalo hunt. Followed by an early September waterfowl hunt and fishing interlude.

A tourist photography and filming trip out to Cobourg?
