   Good on ya Woods! I, like you have participated in a few of those hunts. Some organized by doc and some by Nzda. I have the numbers/results from the May 2024 hunt and also debated weather to...

   As Shearer says, contact Nelson Branch NZDA. They can probably give you the info. If no luck there you could try David david@solumconsulting.co.nz He organises deer control hunts in NLNP. He can...

   Have been going down this rabbit hole a little bit after reading through this thread and have just yesterday picked up a 223 rifle, the first 223 I've had since the good old days when we were allowed...

   I found a noticeable difference between the 55gr projectiles and going up to 75+gr projectiles. Sub 100m and if the deer is still I'll go a head/high neck shot. Out beyond that, I'm aiming for the...

   I lung shoot mainly but more by habit. Centre to break the shoulder or higher gives quicker kills. The heavier bullets make a disproportionate difference to shooting with 55 gn. You can get Hornady...

   This is how complex and tangled this and these issues are. One of the access points too Ruahines I used a lot, got closed because hunters were heading in via it, then around the back to hunt part of...

   Agree - that can be done on a case by case/location by location/even year by year basis though on public land with some fairly light touch management. Would fit well with HOSIs - in those, population...

   I was in the same boat for years but after seeing personally the damage in the Ruahines and Marlborough sounds from red deer, and how poorer condition they were in, I no longer have any qualms with...

    For hunters and alot of people it does feel like a waste shooting deer and leaving them where they fall, or shooting a few extra and only taking the back steaks. Yet no one has a problem doing that...

    I'm a bit of a fan of the inexpensive Vixen V1 scopes. Got a couple, one 3-12x40, and a 4-16x44. Since buying a rifle with a Vortex scope, and using reduced/subsonic rifle loads, have discovered the...

    Sorry about that. Got a ring to say some calves were out. Anyway, also in my mind was the slight uncertainty of where the gun was shooting, and it's amazing how much you can process in some spilt...
