Nice pic's Ben, How many leaches did you get suckin on you?

Benny Nganabbarru · August 09, 2008, 09:22:00 PM

No leaches up here. Well, I haven't found any yet. I think the crocodiles and king browns eat them all!

Hamish · August 09, 2008, 09:53:00 PM

I got one on me when i was out at Howard springs when i lived in Darwin.

are there snakes in that water

Benny Nganabbarru · August 10, 2008, 11:36:00 PM

Hey! G'day Luke! Good to hear that you're at least frightening some pigs! Is your new Black Widow on the way yet?

Ian, I s'pose there might be the odd snake in the water. Tony nearly trod on a 1.5m king brown at the edge, and I tapped it gently on its tail with my bow tip to make it scoot away.

Awesome pictures, sure looks like a blast!

Ben,
Where abouts are you in the NT?
The first pics look quite South but the last ones are obviously in the tropics!
I spent a couple of years in Alice but did NO hunting.

Benny Nganabbarru · August 22, 2008, 08:03:00 PM

G'day Tom!

Mate, good to see a Tolstoy reader! I'm halfway through W&P, and loving it!

I'm in Katherine, but those goats were in WA.

Cheers,

Ben

Ben, yes he was a genius!!
I see, I thought there were too a few too many eucalypts to be in the Central Desert.

Just the chap from yesterday's yesterday, already on PowWow:

Ah there Ben!
It just sucks to be you hey mate?
I had plans for a camel hunt this winter but I still may get out there before it gets too hot.

Lovely bows and great pics!

Ben Maher · September 17, 2008, 11:16:00 AM

as always Ben, done yourself proud! But Tolstoy ? W & P ? Probably a recurve shooters thing. Longbow shooters prefer Dostoyevsky ....and compound shooters...if they could read...it'd be mills and boon .....

Benny Nganabbarru · September 17, 2008, 04:16:00 PM

Mate, one of my other favourites is "The Brothers Karamazov", by Dostoevsky! But then, I do have a couple of longbows lurking about...

Adam, all the best with those camels!

gundy · September 18, 2008, 07:47:00 AM

Great stuff mate!

kibok&ko · September 18, 2008, 01:46:00 PM

Best book ever written, hands down.
The crescendo in the courtroom at the end was INTENSE!

Anyway, nice shooting.
How long can you spend shooting a target with that thing?

Benny Nganabbarru · September 19, 2008, 05:25:00 PM

About thirty arrows before I start getting tired.

Tolstoy and Dostoevsky certainly cover all the angles on the big questions.

Matt Wright knocked this young boar over yesterday; Black Widow PLX "Zebrawood", 70lbs @ 29" / GoldTip arrows with Zwickey / Ribtek broadheads.
