When I walked the track, a couple of trampers said they were watching a seal playing in the surf at Ruggedy. There was a big splash, and a couple of minutes later the seal’s head rolled up the beach....
I have a part tin of 2206 free to whoever can pick it up from outskirts of Hamilton
There are usually heaps of tracks on the beach in the mornings, watch from a lookout first and last light
I usually break down the carcass into legs and backsteaks, hanging in a bush or tree to cool as I go, then skin the legs and into the gamebag. Sometimes I bone the legs right out so I’m only carrying...
I splashed out on a couple of down sleeping bags this year.
A Kathmandu navigator (I think, whichever is rated highest between that and the colombus) and a Macpac Escapade 750 XL. Very happy with...
By going to the Te Puke shoot a few years ago I found I shot a lot better off a bipod than a daypack, so I take a bipod if hunting open country (tops, farmland)
I use a kids wooden chair by the reloading bench so my eyes are the same level as the scales.
I prefer beam scales, I haven't had much luck with electronic ones.
With the Lee scoops, a trickler, and well-damped scales (my Lymans are excellent) I find beam scales just as quick to use.
Regulations and rules still apply, but IIRC last I heard the landowner and one other family member can shoot without a game bird license.
Different rules apply to different species, e.g Canada...
They do in some districts, Waikato DC I think it’s all dogs over 3 or 6 months of age
Edit: not compulsory for farm or working dogs unless they get impounded
If you want to weigh the pig (at your hunting club etc) they are weighed with the head on. Some clubs/competitions allow pigs to be weighed in up to three pieces, so you don’t need to carry it out...
AR2207 is not listed for any bullet weight for the 7mm08 on the ADI website, same for H4198 on the Hodgdon website, so I would assume it's not really suitable for 7mm08 (or other powders are a lot...
Yes, and can bring a whole lot of other charges under the Wildlife Act etc

It should be easy enough to get a paua or three without getting too serious. When I walked the track some of the trampers were living off paua they collected at low tide with no mask.
Good on him for having one, and for having it with him :thumbs:
The 178 shoots really well in my 23.5” 1:12 twist, pushed along at 2560fps
From what I've read, fallow have a particular dislike for dogs (might have been in "Grandad's" book?).
That said, there is a fallow block I hunt that is no dogs allowed but I usually see several...
Nope, I can't tell. I was hoping to look at the left hand side of the hammer with a magnifying glass to see the thread, but my eyesight ain't good enough :cool:
Good question, you would think it should be.
I'll go have a nosey at mine now
I'm not sure. They fly into Mason Bay then walk, but I don't know if they head north or south
I heard yesterday a party got flown out of the Kawekas a day early because the weather was turning crap, they had got 8 deer. I think it must have been a private block coz the public bookings don’t...
I was talking to a friend today, her hubby is on his annual Stewart Island trip with his mates. They got 5 deer on Monday.
Mine shows distance, angle and horizontal distance. My understanding is horizontal distance is pretty much the same as TBR.
The horizontal distance is on a smaller font, and everything is black...
