Been knocking them over near Tutira and the rumours be true. You stop and look and then the hill just moves. One paddock had over one hundred, easy pickings but I suspect our efforts prior to...

My boy has one in 223 and the thing shoots like a laser. Great fun, cheap, light. Not a huge fan of the plastic stock, I prefer the Howa Hogue stocks if going synthetic, but still doesn't seem to...

I am running a 6.5 creed and find that at ranges short of 200yd the ballistic tipped rounds like the eldx are not expanding on lighter game like goats, they just punch a hole in one side and out the...

Finally hit a block with a small, bugger me it was not a small, bunny problem. Tested out the boys new JR15 Chinese .22 bolt with full over barrel. Thing shoots like a laser! Son (12) took a friend...

Hi all

Looking to take the boy out some bunny hunting in Napier/Hastings anyone know of any farms wanting a clear out?

Cheers

Calibers come and go out of fashion, Creedmoor seems to be a popular choice at the moment. Good short to medium range with a good selection of factory ammo. Guess it comes down to selling what many...

Brother in Laws birthday today, lives on the other side of the ditch (nobodies perfect). But his is an ok sort of a guy so took him off for one of our famous north of Napier Goat Hunts. As we slugged...

Having been involved in many fibreglass boat builds, I would recommend the slow cure rather than the fast. The exothermic reaction of the fast cure can create too much heat which can end up cracking...

+1 for the Aliexpress. Got on in 6.5mm for hardly any coin.

I have one 8x4 single axel. Love it, solid build and tows perfectly.

I have the 6-16 Nikon Monarch and love it. Solid build nice easy adjustment and holds zero as it should. I keep my eye open for a 3-9 or 4-12 for my boys 223 to replace his Nikko Stirling as although...

I have the Howa mini action .223 and it is a tack driver. Only wish I had got the 6.5 Grendel instead to give me a bit longer legs. Other than cartridge choice, I struggle with how good the Howa is...

+1 on the MAE forward can. I have one on my sons (technically mine, he is after all 11) .223 howa. The rifle is 20” barrel and the thing shoots like a tack driver. We use it for goats out to 200yards...

I had this crowd https://www.mountainhighclothing.co.nz make some for my boy. They are top notch and if I needed new ones myself I would go right back to them. Super well made and custom fit for only...

To be honest, as a new hunter, I found Nathan's material quite helpful in selecting a caliber and load for the hunting I do. Unlike many, he seemed to bring a reasonably balanced view on some options...

Check out sea to summit Trek III, have one for me and a Trek II for the mrs. Very light and not a bad price if you get them on special. Found Bivouac to be a good suplier. We run a liner as well and...

Hi all

Wanting to know what the basic costs are for a Heli trip into and out of the Kawekas (from Napier/Hastings) for two adults and one kid? Trying to get an idea before I pitch it to the boss....

Found an app for the iphone called i hike nz gps. It has access, including offline, to all the Topo maps and allows you to create a waypoint using distance and direction. Had a play today and it...

Sounds good, I might need a new toy for the bag ;-)

I had this idea and I am not sure if there is already an app for it. When hunting I often know the following information: Where I am, the range to target, and the direction to target. So given I have...

Stelock is very good. Great range of factory ammo, and scope/reticle combos.

Loving my new Monarch 3 opitic, but nearly lost the front flip-up cap twice today in the bush. Kudos to my boy who found it both times. How do people secure them to your glass? I want a method that...

Pretty much how the ghetto version works. The pouch attaches to a compression strap on my pack/day pack. the rilfe comes up from there foward and is cliped on to the front of my shoulder strap via a...

Ok so this is my ghetto version made from the cuffs of an old pair of jeans with a bit of webbing strap on it. Took about half hour to make and it works great. Only issue is it soaks up water if it...
