Great write up and photos. Especially the last photo of the bull in amongst the timber 👍.

Good to see your Rigby Highlander getting some use. I had mine out last week chasing pigs….I really like that Rigby. Thanks for taking the time to post .

The eager young buck gets the small bull, while the wise old buck gets the big bull.

One thing that always impresses me about Mick, is his harvesting of meat. The photos don't show it, and you can't feel through photos, but it is probably very hot and possibly humid as well. I can't see the flies the mosquitoes and bugs in the photos either.

But taking free and good meat, while hard yacka (hard work for our foeign readers ) , is satisfying and makes a hunter, not a shooter.

As Marrakais line says, the bullshit stops when the bull drops and the works starts, or sometyhing like that.

Thanks for posting Mick.

Great trip again Mick and excellent pics, particularly that last with that scrubber amongst the trees. Good to see the Rigby getting a workout certainly looks good in the pics. Thanks for posting.

Great to see you in the thick of it again Mick!
Good to see a variety of rifles used & game taken!
Very nice young buff taken for meat, that would have been a tasty meal or 3 there!
Well done mate - bloody envious.
