Glory hunter. He’s talented with a camera but he’s always been for the glory. Knew him personally years ago, wasn’t someone I’d have hunted with. Tasmin on the other hand, his feeds look epic!!!

I've eaten them a lot. I usually bone the birds out, mince the meat and use it for patties. It's nice and I've always found it to be mild. It is part of the pheasant family ater all... 228975

Believe it or not we have some in the protected bush belts by our house in Central Auckland. Been trapping possums and laying poison for rats for three years to keep them in check.

40+ years ago hunting on a cobbers place in Lee's Valley. We'd chased a roaring stag around at the very head of a spur but he eluded us as dark fell. So we were pretty hyped up. The spur was...

We’ve got quite a few in our neighbourhood on the edge of the Manukau. Never managed to get a photo, but I got a recording I used as the notification for a text message.

We have a couple around the house, hear them most nights. This guy decided to land on a hay feeder I was welding up at the time, just before it got dark. 228940 228941

Got caught up there in a blizzard up there back in the 70's. Wet snow is something a lot of overseas visitors struggle to understand. On a good day you can see both coasts from the Tops of the...

I would investigate rounding them up for sale , then use the cash to buy a bigger calibre rifle to use on the on-going population that will re-invade the property. Nice pics , by the way

Welcome to the forum. Your other option is to get them rounded up and sell them. A few crews around specializing in this know.

Do the animals a favor and use at the very least a 222/223. Yes thousands of goats have been shot with the humble 22lr but you don't leave yourself much room for error especially as a new shooter and...

If there was one hut I hated, it was the triangle. Not the hut itself but the mind tricks the walk back up to tops played on me. There is a continual number of benches with skylines. You never ever...
