Thread: Doc land hunting report or lack of!)

If you are young and keen you are more likely to keep looking over the next ridge or around the next bend long after all the sensible ( alive. Darwin etc ) animals are out of sight.

The more you move through good country with good sign the more you muck things up for later that day or the next morning when the animals are out feeding again.

So find the hot spot of sign and have a snooze, go fishing.
But don't keep hunting.
Or find some better sign for the evening.

If you finally see animals miles away late evening chances are some will pop up nearer to you now also.
They are all wired to the same body clock.

Learn to be confident getting back to your hut or tent in the dark.
If it looks like an animal should be there stay until you really can't shoot at all.


When bush stalking evenings stick at it until you really can't see at all.
It will still be light out of the bush.

I do a lot of walking in the dark and really love it.
Once you're back in camp it's a quick meal and sleep then back out long before it's light to be on the right spot to shoot the stragglers who are still out
