Buffalo & Bullcatcher by Travis Seccin

“When I went out on country, I caught a long neck turtle and file snake. After that we went out hunting and saw a bull catcher which is a land cruiser Mad Max style. The driver is catching wild water buffalo using the arm attached to the land cruiser I was right there he caught that bull. I took a photo on my phone. When I was coming back I saw the porcupine and had to throw a crate on it to catch him and bring for dinner. We burn the spikes and cook him in the coals for good bush tucker.”
