Well, I got some good news yesterday. While I was checking out a new location for my eldest daughter and her kids my hunting mate went for a drive about 3 hours South of Brisbane. He spoke with a property owner who said that we are welcome to come in and hunt as often as we would like. She will even supply a vehicle for us to use. She said that there are more rabbits than we can shoot (we'll see !!), pigs, dingos, wild dogs and possibly a deer or two. I can see this is going to cost me heaps in pressies for her...choccies, flowers, wine etc...but its well worthwhile.
This is great news since losing access to our last place due to irresponsible morons who apparently couldn't tell the difference between grazing beef cattle and wild pigs. They even cut the locks off the gates to gain access. I believe they knew exactly what they were shooting...they just didn't get the carcass out before the farmer came to see what the shots were.
I've started to gear up already .
Cheers, Vince

Dear Vince;
Some of my most prized woodchuck hunting areas have been lost to the same type of irresponsible people you mention. Once an ifraction has been commited, the property owner takes a dim view of anyone using or sharing his property. He is well within his rights, I respect any landowner. It's those who have no respect that muck things up for the rest of us.
Good luck on the new range and good huntin'.

Vince,
Glad you found a new place sounds like a nice place to shoot with plenty of game.

Gidday Bushy. You never know your luck in the big city mate.....rich widow woman, 500 acres .
Seriously though, we always took something down to the guy whose place we used to shoot on....a carton of beer or a bottle of Scotch.....our way of saying thanks for the access, trusting us and allowing us to shoot on your property.
Cheers, Vince

Here I am just kidding and everyone is slamin' on me. Years ago I and two others had exclusive hunting rights on a rancher's land and we showed our appriciation by many gratuities to the propietor and his wife. Man that was some good hunting. Upland game bird and deer. The cattle did have the right-of-way of course.
