Sacrilege mikee, you cut the meat off the neck instead of cutting bone in neck chops !! As far as assessing and leaving potential trophy animals in velvet, there are so few animals that would make...

Not that there is anything wrong with what your reasons are for taking animals but you just highlighted why any form of game or trophy management will never work in NZ.[emoji16] I am also fully...

Unless there is a huge jump in shot velvet price I havent heard of, I dont know how you could even justify an R22 shooting stags for velvet alone. Game management likely will never work in Nz. Too...

Yes I thought that might be the case, little point trying to find something that is better when a couple of fouling shots will give the best. A little different from a hunting point where getting...

My rounds march up the page as the barrel warms up (about 5mm higher per shot at 200m). The first one is always a tiny bit left (pretty good i think as far as foulers can go). Once up to a working...
