Yeah, been dreaming of a tree change for a while. FNQ is Good but the Global Economic/Rudd/has got that buggerred for a bit.....

I'll just hurry up and wait. We've got, like everyone else, good riding being ripped off of us and finding a venue to assist in feral control a challenge.

Trying to organise 2 weeks off to do some adventure type feral control is a challenge......but definately worth it.

I'm looking forward to some feedback from Fox's trailer.......

And Grizzly is spot on. Those Yammies have the formula right for the 4b quads. ( Mind you, the CF can keep them honest........)

2 parts baby oil, 2 parts dettol, and 1 part either T-Tree or Eucalyptus oil does a good job on the mossies. ( T-Tree is better..)

This mossie repellant is courtesy of the Jackal. Works well.

Andrew did a great deal for us....

Optic Planet is pretty good too.

Looks like good fun Fox and right into the hunting scene, so much so I have my own business!

I bought a silencer for my RZR to be all sneaky like in getting up on the ridges and up near tanks/dams/waterholes, whatever you wish to call them.

Just fitted a whole heap of accessories to the standard RZR for Racing and for leisure and she's a beast now. One of the accessories is a gun/tool rack in the back, but now I want to get onto something like Cabela's as well to get an unpright gun rack for in the cab.

Also looking at importing a new brand of pump gun with my shooting business and that'll be in .500 S&W just perfect for the hogs, camels, well everything really as you can buy a bullet to load thats 700gn! and the pump is great for bike shooting.

Sounds like a great adventure out there, very jealous, havent been able to get out for a shot for over 18 months and I own a business in it!! The shame!!

You guys have fun and PM any hunting pics. Or you on any hunting forum?

Didnt know you were into it either Dino and also want to add both the tree change and the Cape trip to the "bucket list" so many fun things to do now am kitted out.

Good one guys, BTW save yourself a trailer, get a SXSmachine!! lol

Just checked out your business looks good, I will soon be in the hunt for another rifle, Its hard to know what cal- as I have owned just about all, I have been bow hunting for years to give guns a break, But now Ill reach out and tap them on the shoulder save walking so far, you mentioned 700 gr bullets I shot a lot of Buffalo with a 58 cal black powder shooting a 530 grn minni witch was devastating on the Buffalo, my favorite cal was the 338 win mag for Buff but now Ill look around for something different.
