I could hardly believe it had been over 12 months since my last hunt at Mary River Station. How time flies! This time I was after a blackbuck antelope, scrub bulls and a cull buffalo. Kevin told me that he didn’t have any big trophy blackbuck left as the dingoes had taken a heavy toll on them, and there were only a few bucks left that were worth shooting. That was fine as an average-sized buck would do me, I assured him.
ARRIVING late on a Friday evening after a three-day drive, I found Kevin already had a new ramp made for me to be able to get into the house in my wheelchair. It wasn’t long until I was perched up at the bar with a scotch on ice in my hand, catching up with Kevin and Carol and meeting Craig, my guide for a few days.
In the morning, on my Polaris X2 and with Craig on Kevin’s quad, we did the short ride down the track to the blackbuck paddock.
