Thread: New Hunter Down South

Hey guys,

Been lurking on the forum for a while—figured it’s about time I threw up an intro post.

New to hunting this year, based down around the Clutha district, and still getting my head around bush stalking (and how not to get lost every five minutes).
Definitely keen to keep learning from the more experienced hunters here.

None of my mates are into hunting, so I’ve been going solo—mostly hitting the open tops around Central. Managed to get a few animals under the belt so far, including my first stag, thanks to a bit of advice from this forum.

Looking forward to soaking up more knowledge and sharing a few yarns.

Cheers,

Welcome on board, it’s a great place to hang out

Welcome

Lot of good country over yr way,enjoy.

Welcome aboard

Way back before GPS was a thing. We would park/ camp by creek/fence/ bush edge and call that a back stop feature. If it ran in say a north-south direction we would start hunt at right angles to it so head east for hour.turn either north or south for hour or so then again turn right angle and head back west until hit backstop feature again... It still works and isn't as complicated as it sounds. It is just like driving around the block if you missed drive way lol. Welcome.

Thanks gents
micky duck - will give that a go next time I'm out in the bush, beats the old wander this way and that way for a few hours!
