My dogs , some of the boys with a Sambar taken over the hounds

Interesting deer those Sambar, they look larger than the mulies.

Yes they are larger and often can take a bit of stopping
Quite a thick Skin on them, 30-06 or .35 Whelen are popular calibres over the hounds
Vic in Australia , is the only state you can run hounds on them

cool pics, really would like to hunt down your way, Troy(Aussielad) and i swap hunting related reading material a couple times a year so i can get my fix......do you live in Vic part of Australia or were yah just hunting there?

I live in Warburton , about an hour east of Melbourne CBD
Out in the Yarra Valley
Pm Me an address and i'll send you something over
Hunt sambar with hounds from mid april til about the end of oct
Go away fri ,come home sunday
Work a 4 day week during hunting season

Don't know if the dogs will let you sit in the front seat though
Taken in the early 90's , we hunted locally , just used to through the hounds in the car and go
We had a good hunt that day with a good stag being taken

My current hounds with Bonnie (left) due in about 17-18 days to Tom in the middle
Ellen ,on her back is a little ripper, Tom is real quick and gets those sambar moving along

Fritz with a resonable fresh water cray

Cool pics. How close were you to that Griz?

Eric

Most likely a little too close, maybe 70 yards
Originally it was feeding across or parallel to me , then it turned and was feeding towards me
I wasn't far from the car so i walked away slowly and got back in the car
It didn't know i was there , i hoped

A few more fresh water crays

A Wonga pigeon

.Out wandering around this evening , this Kookaburra sat long enough to get few photos

what kind of hounds are those? They look like Walkers.

There's a mixture in there , Foxhounds , a couple beagles , a Harrier and some crosses
Our beagles are allowed to be 18 inches high
