The things you whistle in

Everything that is outdoors and not hunting or shooting. Talk about fishing, 4wd, archery, camping, motorbike riding etc etc.

The things you whistle in

Had no luck with my intended prey this morning.
This mob however came in and then decided to observe my technique.

Was another nice cool morning. Shame the plan didn’t come together. Beats being at work though.

Spotted 3 of these majestic birds of prey on the way out too.

Apparently Mick. Funny thing is that same time yesterday they weren’t interested in me at all.
Love the wedgies. Been a little while since I’ve seen any. There used to be a pair that hunted around my place on the outskirts of suburbia. Haven’t seen them in over a year.

A couple of us once spent an afternoon shooting bunnies. The wedgies came down to take away the dead bunnies. It was if they were egging us on to get more bunnies for them.

I think I can get another torch on there Trev. It’s only a small camera to preserve the event. Lol
Torch was on there as it was still dark when I started out.

Have you had your drone around the wedgies and do they attack it?

No, haven’t had it out there yet. I imagine it would be touch and go. Odds are they’d have a crack.
