There are heaps of options that dont require a helicopter for access in North Canterbury. Think outside the square, look over some maps of likely areas. Alpine Helicopters meat truck has just gone...

it looks like the mayhem has already started. Went for a quiet weekend away, out with the camera. Had a campsite to ourselves. But we saw lights out on the riverbed last night, a party of 3 on the...

If I had such a cool wee rifle, I'd definitely want to keep it 222. Id be thinking of maybe going to a slightly faster twist if you wanted to shoot 60's, and I'd be keeping the original profile....

Yup, you will need to spend a lot of time on your arse glassing, very slim pickings. Access from the road end is walking only cos the Toad wont let vehicles through. And dont hunt the western side of...

Like the classic old 1.5-6 Kahles, great scope, would look good on a 375

Sounds like you need a VX5, buy once, cry once, you will never look back.

Have shot an 8x68, a classic Mannlicher and found it no different than most other bigger bores. Easily manageable and great on game. I'd be trying that, but hey, the 257 certainly has a lot of legs...

Priceless!

I've found that the young ones will let you know when its time for them to try shooting an animal. Theres no rush, you can still hunt, and you can still harvest game, be it hares or ducks or deer...

Heard a number of farm stags light up here on 25th Feb, earliest I can recall. Heard another this morning. But I also heard 2 stags roaring for a few days in late Sept, last year!

400 easy, 500 if you can dial.

And the riverbed and flats are the coldest part of a valley, camp on a bench a few hundred metres up from the river bed and you will have less dew and warmer, and wont stink up good hunting areas.

Its never too soon. I started with my 2 boys as soon as they could hold their head up, small walks in the backpack, checking the pond, spotlighting, etc etc. And it was never an issue, we just kinda...

As Billbob has said, firstly genetic's - these stags have been bred using the genetics that give them the head the market wants. And a good velvet head is not necessarily a good trophy head. And the...

Near world record class stags go for way more tham $30k, like add another $200k to it. Ridiculous money, but hey thats what the client wants, and knows that its been bred for the sole purpose of...

Surprisingly, most are aware, very aware. In the case of the US hunters in particular, they see a high fence as no different to them having private access or owning a farm that has its own resident...

And Graham Henry also did a test and found the nice pointy type projectiles actually performed better both in the dowel test and in some actual scrub tests.

Shit I'd need to carry a decent stool or chair with me to get anywhere near my "honey moon suite"!

That looks like a nice rifle, like a hunting rifle should be. And nice choice on the scope too. Have fun

Ring Tyrone Southward, the taxidermist in Dunsandel and ask him about decking one with a 270. Think he would have preferred much bigger at the time.

A Contender is gonna be a bit of a handicap at the PRS matches Tentman! Buts its rounds on target right? no point in missing fast. Look forward to seeing it next time your up here at Sparrowhawk

Easy to make a good detachable one, wish I still had a sewing machine! Cut a piece of canvas to the shape of your bonnet, maybe even another as the top, stitch together with a piece of fleece or...

Some of the pig hunters down here have the local saddlery/canvas shop make up bonnet covers that are removable. Some sort of nice tidy clip or pocket system on the sides and bungees to the front.

Have got a really good white spirits stove, might use that yet.
