Sorry mate, got my wires crossed, we're period three. In this Saturday looks to be a good weather window, I'll post results when back.

Hey team,

Has anyone here had eblis/aciphylla? Heading in Saturday and keen to get some Intel if any available.

Cheers,
Elliott

Period 2 started off with fantastic weather before an orange heavy rain warning was issued.
Tahr either deep in the scrub or right up on tops.
Bulls were moving around alot and plenty of posturing and lip curling going on. This surprised us being quite early yet.
Certainly a lack of nanny about compared to past years no doubt due to continuing cull operations.
Some good bulls about most around the 5 or 6 year old.
Shot a 7.5 year old 12.5 inch bull.

Good on ya @yogi
Keen on a bull pic if your keen to share

I was watching that weather. Also a decent amount of snow end of first period. Did you get whipped out before the rain or spend the whole week in?

Stayed throughout the rain till Friday arvo thanks to the comforts of an Mia tent with log burner.
Will try sort a photo out.

Got out yesterday due to work commitments after a few fantastic days in the mountains with superb weather. Lots of Bulls around but the best that could be mustered up this trip were a few 12.5-inch specimens before we put our heads down and made a move on a bull that we had watched for a few days. He turned out to be a heavily broomed old battler of a bull that was around 11-12 years old, no teeth left and massive in body size, almost looked like a grizzly bear.

I'll get some photos on here at some point but if anyone is heading into Teichelman then I’m happy to share info to make your trip a successful one.

Hi Hayden C, we're going into Teichelmann for the 8th period, not good to here about the rubbish left behind, we'll take a few extra rubbish bags with us when we go in. A couple of questions, was there much snow about when you were there and were the keas a problem? The snow depth on Windy.com seems to be pretty consistent for that area at 2-3 metres, so how that's actually measured I'm not sure. Thanks.

Hey Lambie,
I was in Teichelmann Creek 2023 season and we had a terrible time with the Keas in there.
My understanding was the Zip guys had essentially been training the Kea when they were culling up there leaving piles of carcasses and teaching them to associate people = food.
We had literally 20+ turn up at midnight one night and proceed to put Kea head sized holes all through our big teepee tent - no amount of yelling, kicking the tent etc could get rid of them and made for some sleepless nights.
I spoke to a few guys who had the block before us and they mentioned the same thing with the Keas coming in and destroying their tents while they were out hunting.
Not sure how Hayden got on with them this year but if I were to go back in there again I would highly recommend breaking down camp each time you left.
