    Swanny liked post by Tui On thread : What sort of hunter are you?
    great idea Ned - Freezer filling for me, time in the hills and pest control. No interest in trophies for me. Could add in trying to keep semi fit too - but that's probably time in the hills eh.

    Swanny liked post by Tahr On thread : 223 on deer
    I lung shoot mainly but more by habit. Centre to break the shoulder or higher gives quicker kills. The heavier bullets make a disproportionate difference to shooting with 55 gn. You can get Hornady...
