Right you lot, plain and simple.

Want to have unlimited deer hunting in Oz?
Hire one of these houseboats for a couple of weeks, the company is HUNTER FRIENDLY and you will be in some of the best Sambar deer hunting areas.
Pull up to the shore, have a bonfire with beers after the hunt every night, catch a trout/perch/cod etc. I spent years of winter hunting at Lake Eildon.
No limit on deer blah blah.

Looks very good

 

[User00040]

Can you shoot from the boat?

 

[VSS]

Shame it's such a hideous looking craft of utterly tasteless design. I don't think I could bring myself to stay in that, no matter how good the shooting.


(OK, I admit, I subscribe to "Classic Boat" magazine, which makes me a nautical snob).

I have a sneaking suspicion it was based wholly on the SD “RAIL” principle.

Just saying!

Yes, very not pleasing to the eye but given women and drink would make a fine shooting platform and once on board you would not notice. Bet it has all the creature comforts and fun would be had.

 

[User00053]

If you could shoot vermin from boat and call foxs up and down shore with a bit of fishing would be spot on, think I would just stay on board avoid snakes and wear barrel out

ha ha ha you old toff...I bet it be welcome when your two man tent on the shore is blown away in a big rain event.

They do have the lot, even a microwave for the picky bastards.

I bet a few deer have been shot or dogs from a h/ boat. For every day of the year Lake Eildon (Eildon Weir) has one mile of shoreline, there is a lot of walking and some serious mountain country.

Sounds like a seriously good time would be had with no extraction worries.

Except for the extraction of about 10 grand from your bank account to go to the other side of the planet to shoot sambar deer that you have no use for.

 

[NoIDeer]

Would the Aussies let a group of Poms loose in a boat with an arsenal of sniper weapons and piles of ammo. Second question what would said Poms do with the piles of sambar meat acquired in such an operation.

Take the trophy heads home eat a lot and donate it back at the boat ramp. Some just dont get it and never will and no matter what the niggling ****tard says the sambar stag that my Irish mate took home looks fantastic among his Sika trophies.

Quite honestly would not want to shoot any deer unless asked but the idea in principle has a certain appeal as not a trophy guy, but shooting pests does so a niche thing really and the only cruise you would get me on.

Had a couple of friends staying with us the last few days that are big into cruise holidays. The next one they are going on is a cruise around Japan during the Cherry Blossom season, now that is a cruise I'm looking forward to getting feedback on.

Been let loose on a crewed boat with seats and benches to shoot from providing a few shots here and there on the anchor with perhaps a few baited areas done in a controlled and orderly fashion been overseen in a guiding sense sounds like heaven. Don’t think it would happen but it should imo.

Its not for the jealous keyboard tappers, that is for sure.

Trips like that are easily made bolty and to the man that likes to be out in among the wilds its far far better than the Flower Show`s that appeal to the girly blossoms.

We spent a lot of time in there and there is some wild country...back in the days when a face mask was charcoal from the ashes rubbed on ones face Jolsen style. The Lake and surrounds produce some rippin` stags and fish every year.


Great fishing for Murray Cod,trout and perch and for the carp fishers theres plenty of them too.
