G'day JZ, Welcome to the site, Sorry i know nothing about the possible upcoming hunt, but just wanted to ask you what do the locals up your way think about now having a sealed road to Cooktown, i know a few years back alot were opposed to the idea as they didn't want Cooktown to turn into another good country town overun by terrorists oops sorry i meant tourists. Grant.

G'day Bitsa Lurcher, Welcome to the site, plenty of Aussie hunting info on here. Have fun !

G'day Ammo, Welcome to the site !!

G'day Mate, You moved to the right end of Qld, not far from T'ville out to Charters Towers either, find yourself a block somewhere up the Lynd Highway north of Charters Towers, and you'll have a ball.

Welcome Mate, hope your not planning on combining dogs with bow and arrow, hehe

G'day German, Welcome mate, bull arabs eh? Crikey another one !

Yep it's all fairly interesting, but no sorry, no hunting tales to tell from south east asia. However as it's wet season here at the moment and we are driving to the mine site from a town in Thailand called Nukhon Phanom we head from there to the Thai / Laos border crossing at Mukdahan about a 2hr drive, once you enter the country of Laos things start to slow down a fair bit, as it is still a fairly undeveloped country, it's about a 4hr drive from the Laos border to the mine were i work, and you pass thru about 50 towns and villages of different sizes on the way. Apart from all the village life, you come across many buffalos, cows, goats and plenty of pigs, though i don't think their would be a lot of sport in hunting the swine you see around these parts as most of them cruise around the villages like they own the place. it's really strange to see a couple of village kids wandering around the country side with a couple of dogs and a pig in tow, all getting around like best mates. Makes me grin every time. Alot of the villagers grow little vegie patches near there huts, they always have fairly strong looking bamboo fences around them obviously to keep the pigs out of the prized crop. Last time i went to the nieghbouring village on a shopping trip to buy an umbrella (yes very manly) i was at the local market which is an eye opener on its own, walking amongst the stalls knocking things over and causing all sorts of commotion was a boar of atleast 100kg, he was casually looking about trying to sniff out a bit of prime produce for himself as well, he was followed by a couple of old Lao ladies, who were smackin him about with there straw brooms trying to shew him off, however i don't think the big stinker was to concerned............................... hahaha

G'day Shaeley, welcome to the site.......

G'day mate, welcome to the site.

G'day Jenna, You and i have a couple of things in common, both enjoy doin a bit of hunting and both spend way too much time stuck in planes....... anyway welcome to the site, can you do me a favour, talk with your bosses and get them to organise a direct flight from Cairns to Vientiane in Laos, this would save me hours in loitering around airports, haha good luck........ give me a yell once this is organised, in the mean time i'll just wait for pigs to start flying.........

G'day Becky, I'm over in the jungles of Laos at work, well sought of at work, as stuffing about on the computer at 2:15 in the morning really isn't working, but anyway it helps with getting through the lonnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg night shifts. Anyway welcome to the site.
