The roos are fun. Hopping everywhere. Often past a couple of metres away. To and fro, Drawing under fences hoping over them Trying to jump through them. Sometimes hopping straight towards you, you wave a hand sothe roo misses you.

One of the walkers encountered eight foxes together. They were drawing on their haunches, on their bellies, looking up with their heads above the grass every now and then. Cunning. But eight together, younger. He shot two.

I tried out my Simson Suhl side by side 12-bore shotgun on the day. As discussed elsewhere I've decided to try out this shotgun as my specialist fox and "long range" field shotgun. My first purchased shotgun but I acquired another a week later. The Simson looks almost unused. Some duck swamp use. This shotgun has fixed chokes nd is tightly choked I joke full and extra full. So if pointed well might do well at extended shotgun ranges. I just need to pull the trigger... I'll give it a go at cardboard targets, clays in wire holders, at various ranges with BBs. Give it a go on aerial clays with 7 1/2s or 9s. See how extra full performs. I've used my Greener Empire 12-bore in the previous shoots

One day,maybe next year I'll have totrya mchugh and put a GoPro only head. See if a few seconds of excitement can be recorded from the hours of sitting around . The roo footage might be fun especially for non Australian members.

This time the area was dry, driving some of the roads and tracks very dusty, several times has to stop as the dust from in front resulted in zero visibility.The area between the Barossa and this close by Mid North farming area is often almost treelessA wide valleydry grassed and treeless hills. But the fox shooting hills have lots of trees. Returning to the Barossa from the mid North, the landscape becomes rich green again because of the vines.
