Back to paradse

Greetings to all Kiwi hunters, both those that I do not know, and especially to those that I do know all ready. Special greetings to all the fellas I met in Kurow at the big bore shoot and the fine people I have been hunting with so far.

The Short Dane is coming back. Yes I have planned to return to The land of plenty in december. Last year I brought my Sako A7 which is a pretty good shooter, but this time I thought I would carry something more light and packable, so I bought a take down Baikal rifle in 30/06 IZH-18MH. A very cheap rifle, about 500 NZ dollar new. It seems to be a very fussy eater, it throws every thing I feed it in any direction, but directly backwards. If anyone knowns what ammo goes well in this rifle I will be pleased to know. If I can not find something that will make this rifle shoot straight I will just have to bring the Sako!. I can not bring a rifle that shoots so badly for hunting ( maybe hence the price? )

Last time I was here one of my fellow hunters gave me the advice to come back in spring ( november) for thar hunting ( I did not shoot one last time I was here ) It will be december instead ,hope that will be good to. Any advice on where to go will be much appreciated. I will be very happy to go along with anyone who are going on a meet hunt as well, as the hills are a bit challenging for a fella from a country as flat as the stare of Denmark, to take on, on his own.

Cheers The Short Dane

I remember a couple of Danes coming here and shooting our lovely protected Blue Ducks. I hope you are not one of them with your 'back to paradise' (also a duck) reference ???

did he mention shooting any ducks ? that's a bit rough......
@The Short Dane

I had a look at the bakail single and the trigger on it was bloody awful that could have a bit to do with having trouble getting it to shoot

Peder is a good guy, he was here for the big bore shoot earlier this year.
I'd bring the Sako for the tahr. The Baikal is more of a short range rifle. December should be OK for that still, not as low as November but still gettable.

I sincerely hope they did that from mistake! Not that it is a good excuse, one should always know what one is shooting at!

Dane Rasmus Neilson shot a Whio in 2016. Perhaps he was planning a combined dinner with the Norwegians ??

Hi mate. I have decided to bring the sako, which is pretty straight shooter, and maybe have a gunsmith look at the baikal later. Thanks for advice:
