    quite posibly a grass seed mate.

    Good luck then lads, get Martin onto some Reds FD, when do they start roaring over there?

    Sounds like conjunctivitis mate, the golden eye eye drops will be the fastest remedy, although if not available at the time a strong, luke warm solution of salt water will be extremely beneficial. Conjunctivitis is highly contagious and transferable to humans, so make sure you wash your hands between treating each individual eye and when finished.

    Lurcherboy, its bullshit the rot you've copped over your thread, Cuag and Pegleg have given you sound advice. Its just a skin tear for crying out load all you knockers, its not a flesh wound, remeber dogs have a lot thicker skin than us so it looks worse, any disifectant will work, check out page 2 of this thread, this stuff is dynamite. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index...risol&st=15 Just remeber a lot of vets are NOT experienced with these type of issues and an experienced dog man will usually know how to fix the injury better than a vet. As all the vet will do is give you

    I am talking terminal ballistics SS, not the bullet in flight, yes if a bullet isn't stabilized from the barrell ie, worn rifling the bullet will tumble, but a bullet tumbling through an animal DOES not happen like people believe, if the bullet is tumbling in flight it will have very little and inconsistent penetrive effect, the physical happenings of the bullet that I have described above is what happens on impact providing the projectile is still above a certain velocity, diferrent velocities for different BC's also. ALL bullets meeting this criteria will stop spinning on impact and start t

    Thanks mate. I take it there are no Wild Boar in Ireland? Just get some domestic jobs and let the buggars loose, they will soon adapt and become challenging. There really isn't a drama eating wild pig, yes some can be condemned but generally you are pretty safe eating them. They can carry diseases but so can other animals, you just need to make yourself familar with the tell tale signs.

    Good luck mate, it is a different adrenaline rush that's for sure, when are you out again Martin, your last read was tops.

    Thump the vet and get some sort of human or animal disifectant on it, should sought the problem.

    Good on you mate, great to see a young bloke getting out.

    Its from the rbbit she's stashed under the setee mate.

    That's a hard question mate but a goody. Pigs seem to evolve very quickly and I have caught small feral boars before that just went absolutely ballistic when the dogs hit them. I have found that really large boars that are very close to domestic looking don't have the fight in them that what we call a wild pig does, this is not to say that they won't put up a fight. Boars in northern Australia, that are predominately of asian wild boar strain, when chased by dogs and realize they are not going to outrun the dogs will simply turn around and wait for the dogs and then all hell breaks loose,

    Mate, depends on the area in Aust. In the far north most the pigs are asian wild boar bought in by asian boats and the like a long time ago. Also the early sailors used to release domestic types and wild types they caught in different places throughout the South Pacific as a future food source for themselves and other sailors. Most of the rest of the population is heavily domestic but they have evolved into smaller, extremely hardy animals and are predominately black, with gingerbeing fairly common in some areas, very rarely you see a white or pink pig though, so I suppose to answer your quest
  14. FJager
    Yes mate, pigs do real well in pine plantations and they will travel distances to root up fresh pasture during the night. Sh#t fish, throw the dogs on that fecker.

    Nowt wrong with a 10/22, any and all auto cycling weapons need the carbon build up cleaned out wether using subs or HV rounds, pure and simple, the fact the subs don't produce a whole lot of gas will mean the weapon will need cleaning more regularly, anyone that says the weapon doesn't need regular cleaning obviously hasn't fired too many shots out of an auto, the M16 was manufactured to be a self cleaning weapon, well that idea went out the window very fast. Also with lubrication try some dry lube, wet lubes can attract dust and a lot of the times this will stop the action. Also have

    Mate, I have to ask, do you realise this is a hunting forum? Electrifiying a chook rather than necking it, c'mon. If you get nightmares from this type of thing, how do you manage to hunt game.
  17. FJager
    Great looking pieces of kit mate.
  18. FJager
    Hit bone I would say Aaron, perhaps the bullet was travelling a little too fast, there are a lot of variables. Bullets don't tumble, when they hit an object the spinning stops and the physics involved actually try to force the bullet to do a 180 degree turn, this is why a lot of the time bullets hit bone and then do a 90 degree turn as the forces involded are actually trying to turn the bullet tail to nose and hitting bone gives it bthat little more push to turn.
  19. FJager
    Sorry mate, no straight up though, an axe is far more humane than electrocution.
  20. FJager
    Get down to the local hardware and look for an item called an axe.

    G'day Deker, I have just bought a new SPS and the trigger is nothing short of awesome, I think way too much is being made of this on here, I would say a lot of the commentors have not even fired them, they are just going on heresay. Straight up mate, great piece of kit, there is absolutely no play in the trigger, it just cleanly goes off. Gunsmith adjustable to your required pressure, it is the best trigger I have ever squeezed, I looked at a lot of brands when I was looking for a new .270 and kept coming back to the 700.
  22. FJager
    Very handy mate, never used shooting sticks out here, are they something that is worthwhile looking into?
  23. FJager
    Lads I think we have got off topic to the original question, someone is asking for advice, for what is being asked I would suggest a reputable brand .308 in a sporting weight barrel. Mr Logic I am not disputing the fact that a heavy barrel will outperform a sporter weight one at the range, but carrying a heavy barrelled weapon around the weeds is not much fun, so it really comes back to what an individual does with their time, shoot a paper or game. I have recently discovered the Rem 700 VTR, have you see this rifle, very interesting concept, be great for a spotlighting from the vehicl

    Great post Ossie, cheers. Tender stretch hanging we call it, in most parts of Australia north of Victoria and southern NSW's the weather is too warm during the day, even in winter, to be able to hang meat successfully without refrigeration, you guys have a truly remarkable climate over there that lends itself to being able to hang and cure game meat outside refrigeration. I have heard of pheasant being hung until it falls off the hook, I would love to eat some of this. Thanks again for the post, any recipes by chance?
  25. FJager
    Mr Logic if you are just practising on the range and not shooting competition, you are not going to notice buggar all difference, light or heavy barrel, by the time the detail shoots and then scores the heat of the barrel is not going to make any difference to your practising shots. If it was rapid automatic shots you would notice the heat. If someone wants a good hunting outfit first and foremost buy a sporter weight weapon, if most of your shooting is done at the range and the rifle is going to occassionally be used in the field, maybe a bull barrelled rifle.
