    Went on a recent management hunt where there had been considerable pressure on the animals. They were very trained up, and new the score. Spent a considerable time in the area I had playing tag...

    Its a double edged sword. 7mmsaum's questions are correct. Yet also animal populations get very quickly out of control after they reach a certain point. I had to devise a system where I allowed...

    Ben Waimata liked post by Beetroot On thread : GCNZ, alpha carbines being lined up again.
