"Luck at Boole Pool" - A Hog Deer hunt

"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.

Nice hog deer John and a well written account.
A .30-06, 200 grain bullets and a post & crosshair reticle.
Good medicine for the thick stuff, anywhere.

Thanks Nick.

Was a few years ago too.

Was very lucky to hunt there a couple of years after this hunt. But no one on the ballot that week was successful. Due mainly to it being wetter, so waterholes did not walk, instead an expert told us that sitting on game trails to and from food was more successful. We only visited the guy AFTER the hunt however. Numbers were also down due to deer being drowned during flooding earlier that year.

Hoping to one day win another balloted hunt.
