Hi All
Heard about this site after talking to a stranger a couple of days ago over a couple of beers while in Perth WA, like most conversations I have it always ends up about shooting and hunting/fishing. anyway turns out Matt helps run this site.
I hunt mainly Sambar but also get stuck into most vermin when I'm in the mood.
Plenty to catch up on here, I'll ease myself in, stand by.
Thanks guys.
Welcome tracks.
Welcome aboard mate.

Welcome tracks. I have been following you through the bush for decades..
Thanks for the welcome guys, good stuff.
Welcome, you mostly a meat or bone hunter? throw up some pics, especially if you're into a bit of bone collecting.
Do people target Sambar for meat? :DQuote:

Yeah bloody hard to get onto without a hook up. Romour of some by my folks house but all I got on the game cam was a cow :oh noes:Quote:

Not another one..
Just kidding :P Welcome to the forum, tracks.
Yeah I take Sambar for meat, a lot better than Fallow that's for sure, it's like any game meat it's the way you treat it after the kill, cooling it down asap is very important here be the same for you guys too, and I break it up to hang back at camp until I can get it home into the cooler, always hang them for at least a week/10 days min.
Many years ago to stop the waste I bought a commercial sausage maker and my snags disappear real fast when having a few mates around for a BBQ, roast ya gotta do slow and steaks cook em rare, it's a dry meat so important to cook using marinades.
Once then weather starts cooling down here in another few months I'll be heading bush to fill the freezer again.

edit to add: thanks again for the warm welcome guys.
Ha! I have not tried Sambar but was told it was terrible meat.
Better than fallow is saying something. A fat fallow is hard to beat for chewing I reckon.

Have to come hunt some sambar with me one day @Gibo and @R93 and taste em for yourself!
Fu*king A!!!!!! I'd be bloody keen!Quote:

I would say it is a tucker thing as well but I have never eaten sambar. Only going on what I have been told. I am keen to try it in any case. I have never had a bad fallow but everyone I have eaten has come out of the same area. They have a fat layer at a certain time of year better than any other deer species I have seen.

I really want to try a corn fed mid western American Whitetail...never heard a bad word said about their table quality.
Thats dissapointing BH :P. It will be bland and horrible like corn feed Beef in Oz. Nothing better than animals that have been well fed on their real tucker :DQuote:
