Might I respectfully suggest that hinds are usually pregnant or feeding a fawn. They pretty much go from one state to the next. For me I am more than comfortable shooting pregnant hinds and...

What interests me most in this post is that while helpful, how the hell do you know what arse tastes like??!! No, on second thoughts, don't answer :D:D

That is a wicked looking outfit. Do you mind giving us all your thoughts on be calibre for bunnies, best rigs, how much $$ and how far out you can shoot to with them.

Thanks

I would add that I have spoken to a few different locals that live around the edges about the bird life when passing through as I am always interested. The overwhelming view has been that the bird...

This is always a really interesting subject. Some of the places I go to regularly are like chalk and cheese between hunts. Sometimes the bird song is as you describe, deafening, and other times near...

Yep :D I don't think anyone would consider the rules to be absolutely watertight or 100% logical. :D Hopefully nearly done south of Auckland ay. Fingers crossed and sympathy to all north of the...

I wait up to 12 months to take a dog in. Have seen dogs killed at eight months post drop. Not mine, I am really cautious. From memory the MPI guidelines for meat recovery in a 1080'd area is four...

Have just popped on and skim read the last 8 pages on this topic. None of us should be surprised that gaps have been missed by legislators and then found by those looking for them. That is human...

Good opinion piece Woods223. I hope that the responses would have been the same if you said you supported 1080. Not because this is a 1080 discussion but the reason being that we need to have...

.222, .243, 308. 7x57, 270, 7mm mag, 30-06. If we were to be really honest with ourselves we could ditch every other calibre and new fangled slightly different offering and be perfectly well catered...

Trying to understand your reasoning here. Does wearing a collar increase risk to the animal more than ones without collars? How did you arrive at that conclusion. Is there research we are unaware of?...

That would pretty much sum me up too. Most bush shots are 20 or less. Open country maybe 50 to 200. Almost none over 200. After a life time of hunting, there have been very few I couldn't drop to...

Without giving my identity away, can I say a heart felt thanks on behalf of the family to all of you who have posted on this thread. It means a lot. Harvey was a true legend in the field of...

All the best mate. Kia kaha. Glad you are OK.

Bloody hell, In all seriousness though team the injury list here is often due to people getting out and doing stuff. Nice nice nice. I am 53 and have my own wee list of injuries and hardships. I am...

You are right Tahr that there are plenty deer in the Aorangis. Too many. I am seeing the impacts now. It is an issue and an increasing one. This is not limited to this area though. The problem is...

Sarvo is the one to talk to re thermal. A few bods I know are putting all their coin in to the viewer for finding and getting in and using a high power small torch like a P7 on a standard scope to...

Can you report on the amount of ricochets with them? Sounds like you have used them a bit and maybe on stony ground? Thanks in advance

It shot fine for out to 50m out of my rifle. I shoots well out of my 10/22 but it wont cyslce a semi so bolt is best. Seriously quiet. What I am wondering most about is whether the segmented...

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has used this and is it really low risk of ricochets? Apparently so. Am thinking it might be good for stony country small game shooting. Thoughts would be appreciated.
...

Or sleep at night and put the money in to a good pair of binos and boots for stalking.:D That is what a mate did and he is very glad he did. He enjoys hunting. Hunting and thermal do not go in the...

I think we must reach an age where we are forgiven for being and allowed to be, non selective, and selectively shooting them all. My parents taught me to be polite Tahr, so I will not postulate on...

I remember reading the Tussock hut book in 90's in May post roar. An April post read " Have counted 30 hunters between hut and head of valley, thanks Heli Sika" That post has stuck in my head to this...

Really wondered what I was going to see when I opened this thread :D

Now that is a hunt and a great result too. Well done. You don't get that sort of hunt at 500 yards ;) :D
