G'Day Fella's,

You Blokes are bringing back so many memories, from the Pre 1996 days.

Back in them Good Old Days, when we (Australians) were trusted with self-loading firearms, a couple of mates and I would get away most years, for a Pig Shoot. We had a series of properties (farms) that we were welcomed onto because we would Tally Shoot, quite a few Porkers.
The last time we were away was to a property at the southern end of the Maquarie Marshes. We all took away several firearms but our main guns were SKS's (7.62 x 39). We would ride around on Motor Bikes (I had a Honda XR 350), with Leather scabbards down the front fork of the bike and the SKS in it and jump and shoot pork as it presented itself.
The last Trip away we shot 243 pigs (an easy number to remember but I would have preferred 257), for the week. This was after the start of the commercial export of wild pigs (for human consumption), to Germany had commenced, so we didn't get a lot that time.

With really bad droughts and other things, we haven't been away Piggin since then!

Oh, for the Good Old Days!!!

I think it was about this time, that I took up Deer hunting!
