Thread: Hunting the tops - What went wrong?

Excellent write up. I dont think you did anything wrong, you picked a spot, did your research, and then made the time to go do it, so well done. If you wanted to do things different, then maybe less walking and more sitting next time. Have the confidence in your own ability to find animals. From your story it looks like you were in some pretty nice country, and more time spent in one place gives you a better "feel" for whats going on. Your problem now is you have put in the hard yards, found some decent access, but you live so far away that you cant just whip up there for an overnighter to keep an eye on it. Did you see much sign in your travels? A very good friend of mine kept telling me that the only fresh sign is if theyre standing in it, or its coming out their arse. Anything other than that is old sign. Ive hunted heaps of places where you see nothing, no shit, no footprints, no animals, no browsing. But I keep going back cos its got a good spot to glass from, or its a nice easy walk, or its good for photo's. And bugger me, do that a few times and you start to find the odd animal, simply by putting in the effort. Well done, looking forward to the follow ups.
