Didn't you say feral cattle wasn't much of a thing where you lived?

Those aren't feral. Just someone's cattle. Otherwise I would have been dogging one and filling my freezer for 6 months lol.

Good, I was very disappointed in my father as I thought those were feral cattle and was about to kidnap you and make you write 1,000 apology letters to escape.
Have you ever did a catch/clean/cook?

I have helped with slaughtering and butchering cattle, but no there aren't many wild animals I want to eat and even less so after the dogs have had their way with them. Ofcourse fish yes, and other marine life, many times.

Bagging a deer would change that.

If you look closely you can see a grey heron fishing. I wanted to get photos of Eurasian otters but I couldn't find any romps. Apparently they have killed herons.

Another photo.

[Hardcastle]

That is very attractive habitat^

Unfortunately I can never really tell how bad the photos (taken by phone) are until I get home, so these suck but whatever (even worse ones I won't post), the last photo is of very striking cool looking birds called bee-eaters but you can hardly even see them, sigh-








This location is actually one of the cooler locations I go to (but harder to get to) because it has a lot of macropods and also rusa deer, but unfortunately didn't encounter any today (though did see signs, and winnie rolled in deer shit). There is also a big resident sea eagle I see often, but again, not today.

What Bee Eaters actually look like (not my photo ofcourse)-

Damn Australia's habitat is soooo different from the UK's. I think I like the UK's more. Although I am biased.

[Hardcastle]

Well it gets much worse than that in Australia, better as well though in some areas.

Keep in mind those photos are in "winter". Around 27 celcius or 80 farenheit. I'd argue that winter here is actually kind of nice (if a little dry), summer is hell though.

Has anyone seen that shit on the news where japan are planning on dumbing a lot of nuclear waste into the ocean and china fears that godzilla is going to arise from the depths or some shit?

[Hardcastle]

Not bad, what is that?

I might try and go fishing in the coming days, you've inspired me.

[Hardcastle]

Bass are good. Bass are legit. Bass, trout, cod, perch... maybe some others, but basically there is a short list of legitimate fish for anglers.

I went out to a national park today to try and find red deer and golden eagles, but all I found was... nothing. Very sad.

Lol that is pretty standard, it's not easy. Finding "sign" should be seen as a win. Deer droppings, hoof prints, rub marks on trees, flattened "bedding" spots, etc, that stuff gets me very excited. Eagles are just a bonus, although with enough visits to the same locations you CAN begin to understand where specific individual eagles live.
