Because of all the grass in the bush we have experienced an explosion in all animals including kangaroos.
The property is well and truly ploughed up by the pigs and there are deer trails everywhere.
A really nice buck was taken by a member in June and everyone has been lucky with goats. A few pigs were taken but not near enough to reduce numbers in any way.
It has been an extraordinarily cold winter with frosts down to -8 or more on a regular basis so lots of frozen water ;-)
We look forward to seeing you all again as the weather warms up in late August.

Surprisingly our hunters are also trying their hand at fishing as a break from hunting and catches have been good. Last week one guest took 7 trout and 4 red fin. April and May are always the best fishing in my opinion.

I've neglected my duties to keep you all informed. My apologies.
Over the last ten days our hunters have taken 5 goats, three pigs and a young buck yesterday . 
The rut has not fully begun yet although I hear it is underway near Inverell.
There are lots of mobs of pigs ( unfortunately for us-good for hunters) and small mobs of goats in almost all areas.
We had 100ml over a few days so it is wet again and the countryside is looking magnificent.
We had a couple of cool nights on Sunday and Monday (8 dergrees) but the days are just perfect autumn weather.
Possibly our first frost will be next Monday according to the BOM.

I went for a long drive this morning and saw two good sized mob of goats. Didn't have my phone with me unfortuately to give you the proof.
Water holes are drying out so it should be easier to get a pig at the right time of the day.
Lots of small smashed trees were sighted so I am guessing the deer are active too.
A small one was hit on the road this week.
For those interested in joing the club please email us directly.

We have been unable to contact some of our regular hunters as they came with someone else or their email may have changed (we had a few bounce backs to emails we sent). If you are a regular hunter to Milani and would like to be part of the hunt club please email us directly at milanitroutcottages@gmail.com or phone us.

Our club has not been as popular as we anticipated. We will, however, trial it for 2023 and then review the idea again. Send us your comments and suggestions.
Lots of mobs of goats around at present. Pigs are definistely only in the set areas as it has dried out surprisingly. Der with young have been spotted. We see them on the road fairly regularly now.

Our new arrangements for hunters will begin on January 1, 2023. 
NO NEW bookings will be taken for 2023 until January 8, 2023.
