      Arrr mate that is awesome! Sounds like a bloody good gig out there 👌!
      They get a wet season out that way at all?
      Yeah we get into a few dogs too, I just don't show footage as it stirs up all the Karen's out there a bit as they don't really understand it all.
      Cheers for the support mate 👍 👌

      @oldmate_adventures Beautiful spot mate. I absolutely love it here. Tomorrow, mate. Only carp here at the moment. I'm not keen on catching them. But I need to catch something, ahha. Hopefully, a redfin or callop. Apparently, the callop hasn't been around since the flooding. The odd one is caught. 👌

      @oldmate_adventures not busy at all mate. Just down the river, you have a big campground called the big 4. It has a water park and it is massive. So we definitely picked the right one. Nice and quiet. Definitely after 10pm. Nobody around.

    Hey mate with your veggie garden try spraying a little bit of dish washing liquid and water on a plant in a hair spray bottle to stop the butterflies from laying eggs. Spray one plant to see how it goes, it works at home in my veggie garden.

      Arrr mate that sounds like something I'll definitely try! Randomly they have recently gone away which is good, maybe the cooler weather? 🤔

    Great place, enjoyed the chat and scenery. I have heard there are plenty of pigs up there. I tell you you are lucky to be in such a great spot, I just watched a video by another you tuber called Lost Tribe and they are around the back of Exmouth. You should see the amount of cars parked at the Oyster stacks and they payed 73 bucks for a night at the overflow. Mate your spot wins hands down. Cheers. P.S not sure the heatwaves are going to be much good if you run into a king brown haha.

    Loving the shooting. You need to polish the 'shootin boots' mate. 😂There is another YT channel called "edge of the outback" he's a contract shooter in the Hunter area NSW. He uses a lot of thermal gear. Have a gander. Worked on stations back when i was a young bloke around Mt Isa and dairy farms in SW WA. Used to go the pigs back then too and with dogs.
    I'm enjoying your adventures Jed and Kel, stay safe.

    Do you always go stalking a pig with thongs on, if you wound it , can you run it down for another shot wearing thongs, l suppose you dont miss a shot, knocking them over at 200 meters on the run, instead of talking about your vege patch, how about some interesting information, what calibre rifle do you use , what ammunition, what make of rifle, stuff we hunters like to share.
