So, I managed to draw a mouflon rifle hunt again for second consecutive year. Although I came home empty handed last year I found it to be an awesome hunt. With no time to scout and only 2 day hunt it seemed a bit of a dash. I saw zero sheep on the first day despite hunting hard. Day two i...
Anyone planning on a trip to New Zealand in the future may want to pay attention.
The current administration has been drastically ramping up their utopian goals as of late. It started with a massive poisoning operation as part of their "save the birds" campaign. This spring I saw deer carcasses...
So, headed to New Zealand in three weeks and I thought I had everything in order until I read this post last night by Kiwi on another forum. http://huntforever.org/2015/04/17/sci-member-alert-firearm-export-update/. Can anyone help? Very confusing and has me a little freaked out. Found this...

Maybe I am spoiled living in a state where you can we can hunt almost anywhere! It is the responsibility of the landowner to "legally" post his land if he wishes. Signs need to be no more than 50 yds apart all the way around the property and he cannot get a huge " current use" tax break if he...
Although I have had a fabulous season this year ( bear;archery doe, 8 point archery buck and 8 point 200 lb rifle buck )I would have given it all up for just one deer for either of my son's .
Personally I treasure the moments spent hunting together more than anything. Ten days at camp during...
Well, just back from ten days at camp with my sons. Annual Thanksgiving trek.After killing my bear, and a 140lb doe and a nice buck with the bow I burnt my last NH tag on this buck on Wed. Would have rather one of my sons would have killed it but when opportunity knocks, oh well.:hump:
