I shot a stag a couple weeks ago at 230m with 7m08 140gr. Didn't allow for any wind, cause I couldn't feel any and didn't think about it. Bullet drifted from the shoulder into the neck, so very...

Good effort. Gutting to lose the access.

Interesting to read how many people are saying they think the risk is higher with others vs solo. I too have felt that, in particular when taking unexperienced friends out I often feel a pressure to...

Good story thanks.

I'm trying to do the maths on how many boxes of beer and food you would have had to down to stay under the weight limit coming back with all that meat and bone added! :D

I read this when it was published and thought it was quite a good write-up of both sides of the argument. Technically speaking Forest&Bird are correct, however that would immediately change if a Herd...

I don't think it was said with envy, well not unhealthy envy at least.

I for one know of places where I can reliably shoot deer on public land, but its a two hour drive from home ($100 of diesel...

Surprised at how many people are shooting at sub 25m. Bushstalking deer is a skill that escapes me and I'd love to develop overtime. Tops hunting is awesome, but it would be nice for the bush lower...

Afternoon Team

Will have a few blocks of time (4-5 days) over summer holidays that I'd love to put to use hunting. I'm yet to target Chamois, but very keen to this summer. I have a very rough idea...

Yeah that would have bugged me for years. I've not been that unlucky so far. Have heard of mates leaving behind bolts and ammo though.

I'll send you a dm. See if you were thinking about the same hut.

I've had a couple lucky weekends hunting in November. Heavy on the luck, and light on the hunting.

Saturday 11th Nov I headed out into the Lewis Pass region to try secure a deer for a our...

I've found running pretty hard on the knees, so try to avoid it. I've started commuting to work on the pushbike 30min/10km each way. I've found that just doing that 2-3 a week makes a massive...

Relation sold a litter of GSPxLab puppies at $1300 each last year. Neither dog had ever hunted but were sold as hunting dogs.

Everything I wear except for my puffer Jacket I got at an Op Shop, random combination of outdoors gear. Getting your layering system correct is far more important (for your safety) than the pattern...

Very interesting to hear how many people have started in a similar way!

I found it tough going until it all clicked and now I'm seeing deer on every hunt and successful on about 2 out of 3 hunts.

Expressed interest a few times but never got any response.

Nothing wrong with a good pair of knitted winter socks!

I joined 2012 and my bivy is gortex. Still goes good. Though if there's rain on the forecast I opt for a tent.

Stuck at home sick for a few days I thought I'd finish off this autobiographical story. It's not in the style of what I normally read on here so welcome the feedback. I hope its serves as some small...

Appreciate the true and kind words Micky Duck. Agreed, the dog enjoys eating the offcuts, but was not sure about the antlers. Good company though.

Sneak in. Spotted him at about 1.5km and got into 260m for the shot.

Thanks again for the advice team. Four days in the Lewis Tops got me what I was after.

This was the oldest stag of many seen, and the only metric I was concerned about. Holding a large group of...

Heaps of things I didn't know, thank you!

I'll let someone else try the pizzle technique though...

I am a member, but probably won't renew.

But to be honest I've not found the meetings very welcoming to newcomers and I've asked several times about club trips and the HUNTS course and never even...
