Ned Makim 116 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I started when I was a teenager with a little crossbred dog running bunnies into logs or burows and then digging them out. It's mostly about the dogs for me but I really do enjoy the capital R reality of dealing with boar pigs. It's not a game of tennis but it's not just rip tear bust either. The longer you are in it the less you want to use to get the maximum result. I've gone from great big dogs to much smaller dogs that can last all day. Guts in the dogs is a must but I like a lot more brains in thm than I cared about once... Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ned Makim 116 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) http://youtu.be/ymhm6AVnv7M This is some raw footage we shot of a Wedge Tail Eagle eaglet in the nest on one of my hunting blocks. Just a random change of direction but I hope you enjoy it. It is 10 minutes of not very much but I am excited about it anyway. I hope to get enough footage for a little web wildlife show for fun. Cheers. Edited September 4, 2012 by Ned Makim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ned Makim 116 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 This what the eagle's nest looks like. Hard to tell from this but it is just short of two metres across. Wedge Tails are big birds. They are a type of golden eagle and have the biggest wingspan of any eagle in the world. And this is what the hide looks like ovelooking the nest.

Ned Makim 116 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 A couple of shots to show the steep nature of the country. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aaron Proffitt 142 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Looks kind of like parts of Central California...nice pics Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ned Makim 116 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 One of the eaglet's parents leaves the nest. The footage is not great because it's from a game camera that is probably too far away... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ned Makim 116 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 And more of the eaglet. It's grown a fair bit in the past six days. And this time there is a kid goat in the nest as well.The goats are wild and live in the hils below the nest... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ned Makim 116 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 And just so you know we are still catching boars... This is an older boar Paul caught at the weekend. Hannah and Molly did all the work. Check out the thickness of his tusks... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
