RE: Bowhunting Camels?
Wow. How can you condemn someone forhunting something that you've never hunted. You have no idea how the hunt actually goes. The whole "it's not hunting" argument can be said for just about anything. Lame argument.

When hunting season comes around
As far as getting close, here's a shot of one of our own. Those goats must have been non-wild, right?

You might PM Rob and ask him how many humans those goats see in a day...

So, when is the camel season in Australia? Is there such a thing?What do you think the human populationstatsare in the Australian outback? How many people does a camel see in a day, month, lifetime? You are making assumptions which are based around your little dot on the planet. Are you sure you want to do this?

I've walked up close enough to shoot Whitetails on numerous occasions during Bow season in IL.
Maybe they are not Wild here!

I just don't think the camels on that video were 100% wild.
In that part of Aus there are no fences or homesteadsfor thousands of miles so yeah they where 100% wild.

You know tomost Aussie's sitting in a tree stand 20 feet up waiting for a whitetail to come along is not hunting either but we don't knock the guys who choose to do so. Atleast in Aus.they get offthier butts and go looking for whatthey are hunting then put on a stalk to get within bow range and if you think thats easy it ain't

Dan,
I have managed to grab both mule and whitetail deer during the hunting season with my bare hands. I didn't exactly walk right up to them, but I did sneak in on them. Did the same thing to many elk...my closest shot came from three feet away. Each hunting situation is unique.
Mike,
I think if one were to draw a straight line between the goats eyes and Rob's figure( a cone shape would show everything that the goats were seeing), then Rob is clearly within plain sight of the goats. I believe, if I remember right, he was in that postion for an extended time period. The point is: anything is possible.
No, I have never hunted camels before. I look forward to doing it someday. When I'm finished, I'll let you know the extent of a camel's eyesight. I hear they can spit and hit a target at 4 meters! Finally, to my knowledge there is no season on camels in OZ. I'd be willing to bet thereare very fewseasons onmost of theanimals in OZ (I know for a fact there are no seasons and regs to speak of in New Zealand). There aren't enough people for it to matter at this point, and those that do hunt have their fill.

All I can say is congrats to all you bow hunters out there that can walk within bow range of whitetails! Why do you guys even use treestands?
