Swan Hill Field & Game 30th Anniversary Red Gum Cup

Clay target shooting is a way for hunters to maintain their marksmanship out of season. Targets, which are saucer shaped discs of breakable ‘clay’, are thrown in varying trajectories, distances and speeds, with the shooter scoring points for each target they hit. Swan Hill Field & Game 30th Anniversary Red Gum Cup was a 2 day 150 target event over the weekend 4-5th of august.

The camp for the two days 3 nights.

Rose River Alpine National Park

The Rose River is located in the Alpine National Park Victoria, Australia. It flows from the northern slopes of the Mount Buffalo  joining with the Dandongadale River in remote national park territory.

While there is a huge number of Sambar deer in Victoria the areas in which you can legally hunt if you are a stalker range from national parks to most state forests.

Winter is best I think when the tracks are closed and the 4X4 thrashers and crazy hunters from Melbourne are more likely to be dealing with smashed avocado and poached eggs with dakka than hunting, and especially mid week.

While it was wet and below freezing even at modest 700 metre altitude it was beautiful and serene in the bush.
