    Hell no..that one came and went,then a BSA Hunter,and lastly the Fox. I still regret not buying the wee Vixen and loopy scope for sweet bugger all at the time when culling.

    Good stuff Nathan. I think you have clicked on to the fact that in many cases more people are realising that using more gear and more tech takes something out of the hunt. Tahr hit that nail too when...

    I have been hunting those areas for 20 years plus. This time of year bush hunting in there will be very difficult, the leaf litter on the ground is crunchy and stalking will be very noisy. During...
