    Buy what you want, no other justification needed, but I've always thought flash, expensive rifles are wasted in NZ, at least if hunting on public land. They're going to get bashed up and look like...

    How is this relevant to NZ? Comparisons with America are not helpful in context of Israel or NZ. The constitutional right to bear arms only exists in America and a couple of other countries. America...

    Bacteria need water to grow. Removing the fluid reduces the amount of bacteria that can grow and prevents spoiling. That is the basis of salting. Regardless, water is pulled out of the bait by the...

    Same old discussion over and over. We are a minority, so an easy target for lazy politicians who want to score a few points with the electorate. What can we do? Not much. Vote, sign petitions and...

    I'm not an expert by any means, but I got what I think was good advice from this forum many years ago. Walk at your normal pace until you see some decent sign, then slow it right down, stopping for...

    I've been salting bait over the last few years. It's saved me a whole load of expense and hassle. It's an easy process, if slightly time consuming. Take bait fish fillets, place on rack over a drip...
