Thread: Richmond Range Day Hunt?

Quick mission in early morning up to the Hackett Hutt, in rain and sleet. Quite a few deer prints in the fresh snow in the valley flats and a tonne of poo in the sheltered basins on the bush edge. A careful stalk up the north facing terraces for the morning yielded no animals, pretty bloody miserable with all the snow melting so suspect they were smarter than me and tucked up somewhere warm. Wind shifting all round the place didn’t help things either. Headed back to the hut for lunch - loads of pig sign all over the place but figured they had also vacated the area when dog started pointing intently at a bunch of fern right on the edge of the track. Figured it was a possum and was about to give her a growling when a large black thing scoffed and charged off downhill. Good dog. Was soaked through and piggie had headed into some really manky scrub so let it be. Walked out under blue sky, doggo had some good practice with river crossings and bridges so will call it a win. For you fullas thinking about heading up def worth a look, we didn’t cover a big area and no shots fired so animals should still be round. Good luck!
