"Luck at Boole Poole" - a hog stag hunt

In 1995 - I think that was the year - I was lucky to be drawn for the first time in the ballot for a hog deer hunt at Boole Poole in the Gippsland region of Victoria.

I had been entering the ballot for a hog deer hunt on the National Park islands at Boole Poole for several years, after all, all it cost was $10 to enter and now I had been drawn.

Being drawn you were allocated a week for the hunt. If you couldn't make it, tough, you missed out, and a reserve was chosen for your place. I was going to make it!

Back then we had the choice of either a stag or a hind, and I was definitely happy with the result of this hunt.
