Thread: This is how you hunt

A book. Was his answer. He was a slip hunter in the shitty ends to the Tararuas and Ruahines. He had his half dozen favorite slips in each set of Ranges, and had blazed away with ex war surplus .303 rounds till he knew the distances to the top and bottom of each the slips. Then when he went hunting he'd get into position, make himself comfortable and get out his book. As he said : I can either bush hunt for 4 hours and possibly get a donk. Or I can sit here for 4 hours and almost guarentee I'll get a deer on this slip.

Thanks for posting. Really good thinking right there, especially for old farts . . .
