    I hunt alone as I hunt mid week being as I have a job where I'm working weekends, would like to hunt more with others but only because I am not great at finding animals so an extra a pair of eyes...

    A mentor I had in a previous time of my life. Said "It is better to have thought about it and tried, than to have thought about and not tried at all. " He was a person I still look up to. If your...

    I don't think the distance in should make a difference to how careful you are. I had an experience early on, falling hard against a tree in a deep little gully about 2.5 hours back from the car...

    I love going in solo, 2 people tend to make 3 times the noise as 1 person solo does. Always carry a PLB and now an inreach as well. I love the feeling of isolation, it goes a long way to delete any...

    Good question. I think it depends on a number of things as it’s a little bit of yes and a little bit of no. As long as one has the right comms available, plb, inreach etc. I think you can still...

    I have a rule when hunting solo. If it looks a bit dodgy, find a safer way. If this is not possible then turn around. It's not worth the risk.

    A lot of the places I hunt, I feel bad taking my mates in to as they’re basically an arsehole on earth. 95% of my hunting is solo, there’s something so satisfying getting into and out of hard to get...

    To answer OP, no carry on business as usual. This is what a PLB is for. As with anything, any risk you take should be calculated. You only live once, don't live in regret for not having checked the...

    Shot this spiker on last day of seven day trip, right on the main divide in South Westland. Thought my stag from the same area in 2022 was going to be hard to beat. Think this is his brother or...
