Been talking to R93 about his one from you, he’s very impressed and happy, very solid. Unlike his old tent that collapsed on us at 2am in a west coast storm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, well written, good points when hunting such places and animal control is number one. I dont have that problem, dont hunt private land, hunt DOC blocks that all have the green rain and a fair...

Interesting question. My mates are pig hunters of the exceedingly committed kind. It's their life. Not interested at all in deer stalking. Only pigs. So the pigs are "managed" and the...

Talking to my chopper mate who flies in the north island out of gisborne I think. Had it happen a few times where the cocky gets him to go in and clean out the deer in the back bush/hill blocks....

My pattern improved using the 36gm 3" by about 20 more pallets in the circle than the 2 3/4" 35gm. More consistent as well, less gaps in the spread

O.k so I obviously have some strange figures in my head for the difference in db between the major players I have used/heard. There is definitely no way a factor of 10 separates them in actually...

Yes, but $1000 is also perceived as +/- 2 to 3 x the difference in budget. I'm not a sound engineer so don't see how 120db is perceived as twice as loud as 110db. I just know there is fuck all...

It was an independent test. Cannot remember who 'won't but dpt did well from memory. Had gunworks, dpt and hardy now. All work great just would stick with GW or DPT based on pricing

I have always been a meat hunter so with the exception of the roar I have always shot hinds by preference anyway. If I shot a stag it was because I hadn't seen any hinds yet. But then my region is...

Great write up flyblown. I hunted a farm last year that was absolutely riddled with fallow. The owner wanted us to shoot does (100% the right thing to do) with a modest amount charged for each...
