During the roar I exclusively use 180 grain Winchester soft point projectiles, I revert to my 130 TTSX after the roar. For angry stags I prefer the heavier projectile.

Great photos Ants, well done on your first eights!

I like that!

It started to rain just as I got to the deer and it was getting dark. I didn’t f around with anything other than grabbing the back steaks and the rear legs!

Mines doing 2850 ft/sec.

I've been slowly pushing the .260 out to see how my new scope and projectile combination would go. An opportunity presented itself for a 415 yard shot on a fawn less hind recently.

I was...

Looks great AdamAnt

Who did the coating? What’s the colour?

Mountianing biking and hunting go well together! Wait until you try an e-bike.

Wet aging, up to 28 days according to this.

Exactly what the Ruahines needs, some one not afraid to knock some deer over; we’ll all benefit in the end, so will the environment.
The big bangers were just the ticket.
If I thought I could...

The quick release function is the best part of it. I had no idea it came with that feature!
I run mine on the belt and side of the pack. I’m going to get a bigger loop sewn in it for my suppressed...

I wouldn’t get either. I’d buy a better quality second hand unit, personally.
I’ve been there done that with cheap scopes, including both the brands you’ve mentioned above, I’ve returned them for a...

Family trips are the best ones. 👍

Great yarn. Trust your dog… 😀

I saw KK’s photos on Facebook, cool country for a big wander.

Mate I love that spot.
I’ve heard great things about the EXO packs too. I can’t believe how often gear comes up that I ‘need’ to have!

I have three tikka T3/Xs, they all wear Talley rings.

A great combination in my opinion. Very simple. Less to go wrong.

Awesome decision. But the point I’d make if I saw this thread earlier, is by the time I was 50 I’d owned or used most calibres. It’s fun playing around with different rifles and blaming calibre...

The Jetboil skillet is brilliant. The MSR one is however the most expensive useless piece of kit I own.

Do it! Imagine the deer you’d see in there.

hebe first thing I’d check with DOC is that you can get up the river to mid po. The previous owner only let a select group of people though his property.

Yeah it’s amazing how energy sapping moving through Leather Wood is. It always seems to be so slippery and travelling even short distances can take for ever.
Yeah that area further north of where...

Great yarn, I almost felt as I was there myself. Good to see a few and take one home too. 👍

Greta write up. Like the others have said, no one will miss those deer, good on you for knocking some over.
We had a similar experience a bit further south last summer. Knocked two over and spent...

I never have filtered water, but recently I’ve purchased two different filter systems after encountering sone pretty stagnant shitty looking water on a trip.
I’ve got the Grayl bottle, yet to...
