Thats what i.m talking about
awesome
For some reason I had you in WA not Qld.
I think chital are the most beautiful of all deer species, I've been wanting to get back up there for a long time to hunt and photograph them. You're a lucky man!
It's great to see another bird watcher, saw my first burdekin duck when I hunted chital about 12 years ago, unfortunately at the time I only had a cheap camera and the photos fall far short of the quality of yours.
If you do get a rabbit, soak him in brine for 24 hours, then either stew him or cut into strips and using egg wash and seasoned crushed cornflakes fry him up. Wild game does not get much better!
We do similar down south, red, fallow and sambar are all stalking but for our annual hog deer hunt it's all treestand/highseat hunting. You get to see some amazing things when you've had time for nature to carry on around you.
Beautiful photos by the way.
You need a large gun safe and “NEVER” open it when your wife is there!!!!

Man, every one of these fine arms are just totally awesome. My finger is sore from hitting 'like' so many times. 
OK...a lot of beautiful and unique guns shown. Let's keep the show going.
This is a build I did from a full stock flint Hawken kit from TOTW. .58 cal 36" straight barrel. Patchbox is not part of the standard kit. I added that.
Two four shot groups during load development and sight adjustments.

My wall rack has the finest that any BP Shooter would love to have in his inventory.
These three beauties are going up for sale very soon as I'm an old man now at 73 and in very poor health.
I'm trying to find a home for all three rifles to someone in better physical condition to do them justice.
All three are still virgins and have never been fired in the field or at the range.

A .36 cal Kibler SMR I assembled. Great small game rifle!
beautiful beautiful
I've learned so much about Oz from this forum. Like, everything wants to kill you!
Please don't tell me that these beautiful animals want to kill me, too!

Not everything 'wants' to kill you Brazos John, it's just that some things have the potential to kill you
! It seems that most visitors from the other hemisphere are concerned about our spiders, snakes, crocodiles and such, but what I am very wary of here in North Queensland, particularly hunting in the wet season, is Melioidosis. The Burkholderia pseudomallei bacterium that causes melioidosis usually enters the body via cuts on the skin, or via inhalation of dust or droplets, and very rarely by drinking contaminated water. During the dry season the bacterium is found in deeper soil layers, but during the wet season it can be found in the surface layers and in muddy surface waters. This is why most cases of melioidosis occur during the wet season following heavy rains and flooding. Melioidosis can kill you; it can cause you to have limbs amputated as lifesaving treatment 
.So here, it's not the things that you can see that should make you cautious, but those little blighters that are invisible! And no, no threat here; this band of lovely chital deer will be off and running as soon as they sense a human observer. I took this image from a bird hide in the late afternoon, a gorgeous summer's day. It's moments like these that make me appreciate being out in the bush - many don't seem to understand that it is more than just the 'hunt'.
Kindest regards, Pete
