    Went out last weekend for some Pre Roar exercise, hiked into some popular North Canty public land for a couple nights, only saw 2 deer out in the open so spent a morning bush stalking and got this...

    Jeez you guys are easy, the first thought of side boob and you want too see the whole thing, luckily I've just put a shot through it to get it on paper and calibrate GRT, there's no way I'd post it...

    How long would you wait for a rifle? Gunsmiths can take a long time with projects, 2 years isn't unheard of . . . and then there was old Din, bless him he might be 2 years plus! A collector...

    Puffin liked post by Nick-D On thread : Show me your knives
    Picked up a few knives in a recent trip to Japan. Pretty cool be able to find ashi hamono off the shelf as they are basically impossible to find these days. Also hard not to pick up a higonokami when...

    Puffin liked post by Hugh Shields On thread : Roar Update - Kapiti
    I was out culling rabbits last night and about midnight I heard the first plaintive roar drift across the Reikorangi valley. Reikorangi is about 100 - 150 meters above sea-level and got close to a...

    Had an awesome trip last weekend with a few good mates of mine, thought I would share. For a long time, I have been wanting to share my enjoyment of hunting and the backcountry with my school...

    Puffin liked post by Snoppernator On thread : Show me your knives
    Love this thread. Saved up and bought an Argali tent a year or so ago, and a Serac knife snuck in on the order. Couldn't afford it now, pricing has gone through the roof (think the States has a...

    Puffin liked post by Mathias On thread : 257R Experiences
    257R is a very capable cartridge for NZ, but you need to be a reloader that's for sure. I shot all my best animals of a 15+ year period with mine and only sold it on as I got hooked on 6.5mm stories...

    Was a favorite of mine a few years ago, had a couple of improved also. The late Tony Hawkins rebarreled a Browning BAR for me in standard 257R, sold it prior to the "buy back" so didn't have to hand...

    Puffin liked post by Wild Hunt On thread : Another spot to tick off the list
    So this trip was towards the end of spring. Having had some luck seeing animals on day trips in the general area I decided an overnighter would probably give me more chance at success. With a couple...
