Aussiehunter Blog
Welcome to the Aussiehunter blog. Updated regularly, it contains a wealth of information from hunting adventures through to technical data on shooting and outdoor equipment. There are also updates on family, cooking and lifestyle. Below are my three most recent blog posts.
Consolation Prize
Today, I spent most of the day chasing wild dogs, without success. However, I did get a consolation prize for my efforts. I stalked and called from numerous locations along the jungle border where vast tracts of state forest jungle meet farming land. In my travels,...
Sauer Classic XT 101 in 243 Winchester

About Aussiehunter
Aussiehunter has been evolving since its inception in late 2011. My name is Don Caswell, I retired in early 2012 and wanted an absorbing project to pursue that would build upon my existing interests and passions. The result was the aussiehunter web site.
Since 1981 I have been a freelance writer, photographer & illustrator. I am the author of hunting stories and the provider of technical shooting information. I am an independent reviewer of hunting, shooting & outdoors products, in addition to being a blogger & webmaster with Facebook & Instagram presence. I am a senior writer for the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (SSAA) and my articles appear regularly in their publications.
I have always striven to share and perpetuate my approach to, and the joy of, hunting. The aussiehunter web site contains a wealth of useful and entertaining information, images and stories. I hope you will enjoy reading of my adventures and find value in the technical data there.
