    That time of yr again.

    When i brought this property there was one fallow doe inside my 200 acre enclosed area, next summer there were two, i shot two last yr, they dont have a problem in increasing numbers, as our allocated rainfall was abysmal and i have to cull hard. The stags in the first couple of yr consisted of...

    A curse or godsend

    Jumped out of bed a 5 am, 1 hr before daybreak, poked my head out if the window to be greeted by fog. Made my way down to the bottom of the field, out with the thermal, nada. There was a very gentle win from the noth, not the best but still ok, i skirted the edge heading south as i expected the...

    New bow and loving it

    At 76 ive been having a bit of trouble drawing 50 lb on the recurve, certainly nowhere near being as good as i was 18 months ago, mainly lack kf time being busy developing my hog deer property. I put on the old thinking cap and decided to start with a cheap compound and a target one at that, so...

    What did you shoot today

    I did not see a thread like this so posted it up. Fill your boots. I saw a fox just after settling in on the back of my wagon, but by the time I moved the rifle over to the tripod the fox was hitting top gear and on the 250 mtr mark to disappear into the fern, a few seconds later another one...

    Mr Browning.

    I own two xbolts, one is standard and the other a long range mod with a 26 inch barrel. Both are in 300 wsm cal. What brasses me off is the damn trigger, you can't seem to get the let off much below 3 lb, now for long range shooting that's a joke. Here in OZ I have a mod 70 also in 300wsm, now...

    Broke out the recurve

    Been a few months since I drew the bow, going well, two in the dot at 15 Mars. 50 lb but after a few shots took two turns out and much easier now, at 75 the old muscles ain't what they used too be. So it's building up to rut time by end of this month, fallow deer that is, the hog deer rut 12...

    How high or perhaps how low to put a stand.

    Well I'm about to build a stand, never used one before but always a first time. I'm curious as to how far into the air I go, is three MTRS enough, my best tree that gives my decent angles etc. Nothing fancy just bits of pallet Wood and a leftover steel frame from a flail mower delivery parcel...

    How much for a whopper whitetail

    Just saw the post on nm bighorn bids, 1.3 mil ouch money to spare there. So I'm curious on what something like that buck that scored 1000 points would go for.

    Gaging interest in hunting NZ Wapiti/ fiordland deer 2025

    Plan on going into fiordland in may next yr after the ballot. Looking for a couple of guys to join me, must be fit and resilient, not for the faint hearted as it can rain up to or more than 1000 inches per annum. Permits are free, a heli ride to a hut as Basecamp. Archery is fun, although I'll...

    New limbs

    Three weeks ago I ordered from top archery in China some new limbs for my ifl recurve, ordered 50# bamboo and carbon. When I got home from town proceeded to whip the old ones off and had a problem with my leverage to put the string back on, hmm. Tried drawing, hardly put an angle on, ok better...

    100 percent

    I've tried on several occasions to go co OTC but things never fall to plan so I've got a great idea up the sleeve. Here in NZ we have a herd of wapiti, slightly mixed with red deer but still pretty well look like a wap, now we can hunt the hell hole that they live in called Fiordland, any time...

    Hornady 300 wsm ammo

    I had a young fella come over to Oz from the states to hunt sambar, we dropped into a sports store to buy some heavier loads as my ones were only 150 gr, they had some 200 Gr packets out the back and these we took into the mountains. Upon arrival at our camping spot which was on top of the Ridge...

    Found the answer, un believe a bull

    Determination drove me back to NZ, I just knew a bull was achievable, so the first thing I did after setting up camp was to start the process from the beginning. Put my felt blanked up, used a field point to see where the arrow might go, two inches to the right at 17 yrds, the wind was pretty...

    Chapter two, shooting the breeze

    My second try for a bull tahr with a recurve. Halfway into my camping spot I took a rest up on a hill and sat facing the large valley bottom that I normally rest at by a wee brook, and right where my resting spot is where a group of 18 bull tahr, mainly younger age, they were milling about...
