Andy's Hunting Guide
Hi again to all the SSAA hunters who have decided to risk another look at my little article.
Unfortunately, it will be very short this issue. I am as busy as a "one armed paper hanger"
lately with range improvements at Silverdale, staff recruitment and life's general distractions.
On this occasion let's look at the items that make a meat hunt a success.
In the next issue we will investigate the use and application of all these items in more detail. If you require information on
another item, feel free to email me on silverdale@ssaasydney.net and I'll endeavour to include that item in the next issue.
I would like to continue on the caping and butchering theme as there has been tremendous interest at Silverdale in the
face-to-face demonstrations.
I also want to see game meat recognised as a trophy in its own right, equally as important as the antlers on the wall.
Stay safe, might catch up with you in the bush. Cheers - Andy Mallen
