Definitely keen Kurt :woohoo: I fit all the criteria bar 1, I'm not a club member reason being its an expense I don't need, I was a member with the SSAA since I was 11 but cancelled when I was 24.

Do you have a rough idea of when you want to go?

OH and I don't have camo gear, I usually just wear my cotton drill welding cloths suppose I can get some easily if I have too.

Correction I DO have camo gear. Just bought some camo gear from the camp shop next to Reece Browns Plains, cheap as.

That reminds me my ssaa membership needs to be renewed this month

[Keen-as-fisho]

I've got my licence renewal in front of me, I'll sort it out next week, all the paper work is sorted just gotta find some cash.

[BassTracker]

did you let your licence slide or your ssaa membership, you cant have one without the other anyway hey, do you need to get both? might be up for a few bucks :pinch:

[rathabfishin2]

Hmmmm really have to get off my butt and get a license... I look forward to the report, great country out that way!

[Keen-as-fisho]

Didn't let the licence slide, its just due at the end of the month. My last renewal I wasn't a ssaa member and still got it. Just looking at the form now and it just has a few boxes to tick as your genuine reason, club membership is one of them but I will be ticking the rural purposes (recreational) and submitting the property owner details form as well. So much bloody paper work :whistle:

[BassTracker]

Yeah I wouldnt want to go through even a renewal more than once every 5 years

[keen_as]

Good luck fellas, have to organise a bow hunting trip some time.

[Keen-as-fisho]

Yeah I wouldnt want to go through even a renewal more than once every 5 years

Yeah too right :pinch:

[51MPL]

i'll have to start looking into getting my gun licence etc so i can make it to one of these soon! goodluck fellas

have you got a properity owner that will do that for you

[BassTracker]

I keep the sporting shooters going, they provide insurence for hunting and its easier to get onto property if they know your a member, plus you dont have to stress if you dont have a property cause the ssaa membership lets you keep your guns.. just a thought, sure youve already been through all that

[madmullet]

guys what you recon about taxas.... goats, pigs, dingoes and wild dogs

[Gary_C]

Sounds like a fun trip. I'm looking forward to the report.

If I manage to get permanent residency I'll have to look into all the memberships and licenses so I can get my guns shipped over from the US; it just wasn't worth the hassle to try it if I wasn't going to be here long term.

[BassTracker]

Yeah mate, texas is the go, shortest drive too.. I got the all clear to go just gotta come back with a date. maybe we should all catch up soon for a feed or a fish and have a chat
