I only ever hunt alone, have done since I was a teenager. I prefer it that way as I have developed my own style/habits. Happy to do group hunts but they go one way I go the other. The main thing I am...

There's the problem :D

Sun, and up a bit higher on a spur or terrace so he has a good vantage point to detect smell and noise, somewhere close to a patch of good feed during the mornings/evenings.

Shot some goats last week using Winchester 64 grains out of the 223. Quite impressed at the internal damage they caused.

Love the photos

Hunting locally. Hear stags roar..roar back..shoot stags

They have started early this year, I heard a stag roaring on March 31st, not really going hard just that initial moaning to bring the hinds in.
Today I went into my usual spot..Spot X in the...

I wear my Merrell trail running shoes, zero drop barefoot, or Inov8 barefoot shoes. I have tried cheaper nasty ass ones before but if they slip on your foot they are a waste of time, buy quality...

Anywhere is a decent spot, I have hunted the Tararuas for about 30 years and have always gotten deer in every area.

B41 model as below, first time trying the Sleipner steel and I am seriously impressed with how long it holds an edge.

I tried a bunch of different rounds, this shot the tightest group and I sure cant complain about how hard it punches animals at long distances.

I enjoy those frustrating hunts with crafty stags, keeps yah on your toes for sure.

:D 270 zeroed in at point blank

To be honest I was more worried about getting pushed down the face I was clinging on to, and if so my rifle would get banged up as well, it was so steep there would be no stopping until hitting the...

I usually don't bother shooting small stags in the roar but this one was the exception. I think given how far down hill I would have fallen if knocked over worried me a bit more.

:D Think I will sleep better with trying to kill me

Yeah it was pretty funny thinking about it, the first stag that had a crack a few years ago was only very young as well, obviously this guy didn't know the scent of human either, and I think didn't...

Welcome. Last time I was in Singapore I saw wild pigs running across the main road on the way to the zoo !

Hasn't let me down yet...

Another day in the hills, pouring with rain today with a strong southerly. I was soaked and cold by the time I got to what I thought was a likely position to give out a roar, almost immediately one...

Any other time of the year its good fun to watch, this time of year hinds are a pain in the ass as they act like the stags personal security team.

Long time no story so here is one from today.
The weather has been less than ideal for this roar, strong northerly winds and hot weather. I started hunting last week but the stags were only moaning...

I have had a couple of Smithfiields for pighunting years ago, very good strong dogs that dont trail bark. No such thing as an NZ cattle dog (pighunters calling their pot licker that when it has a...

[3.7m Whaly solid polyethylene pontoon with a 20hp 4 stroke, will do 42kph flat out. If you are into fishing then this is not for you, purely a spearfishing/dive boat as its a wet ride. The reason I...
