Sharp, Smoke, Steven and I go hunting



On Sunday 4th of May 2008 Steven, sharp (my dog), smoke (Steven’s dog) and I went down to our creek. When we were walking up the creek smoke went into a bush of cutty grass. Then smoke started barking and I sent sharp into the cutty grass and they came out with a possum. But then it ran, Steven told smoke to go after it and I told sharp to do the same. They got it and then they had a big fight over it. I took the possum off them and though it sharp went after it but I gave him a hiding. Next Steven, sharp, smoke and I went up the track then sharp and smoke went to a dead tree sharp was pointing to something and smoke was barking. So Steven and I went down to the dead tree and saw that there was another possum! Steven gave me a stick with a hook at the end and he said “Pull it out of the tree with that because you have a longer arm than me.” So I did it dropped in to a dead tree below and sharp went after it while Steven went below a little cliff below the dead tree. Then all of a sudden it dropped down the cliff and broke its back leg and charged at Steven and broke its leg again. Sharp and smoke went after it and Smoke follow Sharp, Sharp is useless because he was running around in circles. Steven and I went after them. Sharp caught the possum just in time it because it was climbing a Lawsoniania tree. Steven killed it with his stick and then we put it on the track so when we come back down we can get it. We were at the bottom of the track again so we went back up. We were just a little further from were the dogs found the 2nd possum when Sharp followed by Smoke went around a ponga and killed one more possum. Steven went and put it on the track and we went on. We finally got to the top track. Steven and I found a log by a whiteywood tree. Smoke went wild and I had a look what he was doing and he pulled out a hedgehog. Steven and I decided to go over to the 2nd Vera so we went up the ridge and went to the second Vera nothing much happen we saw about 50 goats but that is all. So we went to the third flat. And sat down on a lump, Smoke went wild again Steven went down to the bull rush and found a hedgehog nest with1 adult and 2 babies. Then we down the track again and got the possums. The second possum a hawk had eaten it.
