"Guess which area was the more difficult to hunt?"
Well one of our members here "MICKEY" is off to Omeo to chase deer with his buddy now he will have in that area several million acres of heavy bush country interspersed with some lighter country,no fences `cept for a few low farm ones and if he wants to he could walk for a month without coming on to a road,now i would say that he is in for some fun hunting for sure,but back in answer to your Q`s John it would be the place with the most natural terrain that allows the hunted animal some form of defence against being found by hunters,this is partly the point i`m making ie: a deer or antelope in an open flat grassy paddock that normally inhabits heavy forest is a soda mate especially with a fence around him............hey look at the famous Bongo,take him out of his thick forest and put him and a few others in W/Valley and how long do you think they would survive compared to being in their home country? Not friggin` long for sure. How hard would it be if we took Altai Argali rams into NZ and stuck `em in a pen at sea level with the rest of the "gold medal" red stags..now how hard would that be to "hunt" eh? Not hard at all of course as their defence is the sheer cliffs and altitude of their domain that keeps most predators at bay and when in an open grassy fenced pen they would be reduced to the status of the stud merino`s at Collinsville in S.Aus. Just another point about the difficulties of pen shooting to me.......in my mind there aint much of a problem with knocking animals in situations like this. Hey even when fella`s come back from NC with their rusa stags,yep wild ones at that it always reminds me of when Ricky Fahey a taxidermist in Tas shot his as well,from his wheelchair!I have an article printed here about a fella that was taken into WV and took stags (a sambar) and he had a friend as sighter for himself as he was BLIND now did they tie that stag up or what? Difficuties difficuties i dont know mate i`m just a plain old ordinary (some say ornery) hunter thats gonna take great delight in walking you into some great back country in the hills one day Nitro to get this WV place out of your mind.......joke hahaaha.
Hey i do know pro guides that have done the lot there is in OZ and other parts of the world and part of their role is to take some clients into WV they will tell you anyday that WV is a place where the average hunter from Oz would clean up basically and if some folk want to hunt in these places so be it,but please dont tell me that their trophy buff from there is as deserving as a hard earned bull from walking the swamps in the Territory...yuk!
