I had a jammed collective once whilst in pursuit of brumbies, dropped in an opening into position and discovered the bad news when time came to lift out, fortunately recovered ok but by crikey exciting yes. Still the poor old brums are pretty well gone now mostly by virtue of captain winchester whose success rate was way better than mine.
Luckily we had a good client were the photo was taken so funds were secure, I had some good years on the border place too with food and funds all ok, but never ran brumbies there. I am aware of the tinned tucker episode.
Never worked a no bar just the stab bar but I did discover that a Robbie could get about well enough when called upon.
