Do you have a full life.

The last few weeks have just been crazy, as there is lots to do a little time to do all them.

I have also spent the last few weeks talking with a heap of our members, along with having the opportunity to meet with a member from Northern Territory while he was Canberra for some work commitments.  I must say that creating this website and talking with the members it has given me a better appreciation of the time we get to spend in our chosen sport or hobby.

Most of our members, if not all of you, lead very busy lives and while I am also very guilty of this, I feel that a lot of the stuff we fill our lives up with, at the end of the day don't give us the enjoyment and satisfaction that I'm sure we're all looking for.  I think this feeling was summed up over the weekend when I also had the opportunity to take one of our members out on a hunting trip. Maverick is currently going through the process of getting his gun licence and was more than keen to come along to observe and to learn what we had to offer. It was during a walk up a nice hill, that we stopped at the top to take a breather and after catching our breath.  While surveying the amazing scenery Maverick said  "I never get bored of this!". 

Now I am sure you can agree that this is something that we all appreciate in our chosen sport of hunting. It is not just the act of shooting something, it is a whole environment and without such spectacular scenery and bush I'm sure hunting would lose its appeal very quickly.

The Oz Hunter website is proving to be a very effective way to meet other hunters, not only online but to be able to meet them in person. We all share the same interest in the sport, but we all have different values and ideas.  It is this that makes us unique and it is this that brings us all together as a hunting community.

If you are one of those armchair hunters, I urge you to get off your butt and get out there and enjoy what this country has to offer. Fantastic bush, fantastic scenery, and amazing people and places.  You only have one shot at life, so don't look back from your armchair and wish that you spent more time enjoying what you love most. To me that is hunting!!!

I must thank all of you guys and girls for making this such a wonderful place along with giving me the ability to interact with your lives.  It is an honour and pleasure. I hope to meet you all at some stage and get to spend some precious time with you out in the Australian bush.
