This is the stag that wasn't so luck. Massive thanks to Billbob for cleaning the skull up for me. Amazing job, zero smell and pearly white - check out his thread in the taxidermy section if you're...

Came across this fella on the first day of a 4 day trip. Passed him up at the time and I still think it's the right decision. Hopefully another year or two to really develop his tops. How old do you...

Massive long shot but I left my suppressor on the ground next to my decapitated stag in this doc block. If you're heading in there, might be a chance you're heading right past it. Pm if you are...

I'm thinking that they must've had a movie on Sunday evening for Easter and its been pushed back a week

Side note on the GPS/maps comments. Just get the NZ Topo (north island or South Island) app on your phone. Has your GPS location (even with no reception) and has Topo and satellite imaging. Has DOC...

Anyone else not enjoy the waterfowl episodes quite as much at the back country expeditions? It's good to show off the range of hunting in NZ and showcase incredible cooking but just doesn't hit the...

I know, how good! I'll get some photos up tonight

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...

Thought that would be the case. Point and shoot... can do

Recently upsized from .270 to 7mm RM. Rifle is full 24inch legnth + suppressor so designed for tops hunting as intended. However, this weekend there is a chance the weather will force us to head into...

Great to see that you're 'out there doing it', not just on here asking for someone's Spot X so you can get an easy animal.

Just getting up in the hills and nature should be the motivation, not...

Cheers all, will see how it pans out.

Off hunting this weekend and incoming weather may mean we have to change directions from the chamois mission we had planned originally. Might change tack and look for a stag but wondering if they...

Yea it is the magnum one which is great, saves some $$

Thanks for all the info on this thread. After an assessment of my situation as a whole, I ended up going for a new Tikka in 7mm RM.
So new setup will be
Tikka 7mm RM
Full 24 inch barrel (can cut...

What caliber is that one Carbine ? Is that a Bergara hunter? One of those on TM atm in 300WSM but pickup only in Wairarapa. Def will be looking 2nd hand

Cheers for all the input on this thread. After reading all the info, here is a shortened list of requirements for the setup
- use factory ammo (availability and performance to consider)
-...

Yea the reason for parting with the 270 is that its an older rifle that isn't quite as accurate as I want. I figure if I am buying a new rifle then it's a good time to change calibre and future proof...

All good info, I hadn't considered the PRC. Had the guy at Rivers to Ranges the other day tryin to sell me on a 6.5 PRC.

I would be using factory ammo. Preference would be for a suppressor too

I'm looking at upgrading from 270 to a larger magnum calibre and getting my Burris Signature working to its capabilities. Mainly tops hunting and want to be able to shoot to 400 maybe 500. Any input...

Sorry been off the forum pretty well since that day.

So thanks to MB's offer, Russian 22. and I rendezvous in Warkworth at 4:00am. Meet MB 30min prior to agreed time so everyone was itching to get...

What a day it was, cheers MB for the top class service!

Yea would be keen as. Would be unreal to get out to Little Barrier or something but still a few fishy locally at Leigh etc

Hey fellas, anyone launching from Omaha for a dive on the 24th or 26th of Dec and have a seat they would be willing to offer? Dying to get out while I’m up here from Chch. Happy to chip beers +...
