There are plans to challenge this proposed cull in the high court. It is being instigated by Eugenie Sage, the current Minister of Conservation. She has a history of very biased views regarding the introduced game animals and believes they should be eradicated, not managed as a resource. Even if...
It’s been a busy year for me with work and having a new house built but I have still managed some mountain time.
In late March I headed to an area I knew held good numbers of Red Deer in the hope of finding a good stag.
Accessing the area requires a long four-wheel drive then a good walk which...
Lots of opportunities around Queenstown. I lived there for 2 years and now live an hour away at Lake Hawea. Feel free to message me with any specific questions you have and i'll do my best to help.
Cheers,

Thank you all for your comments, I'm certainly going to go for a slider. I can see the potential for forgetting to return it effectively to zero as it were but I dial my rifle scope and have the same potential for a mistake there, I just make sure I check it and so far, have not had problems...
I've done a couple of swap hunts now, both have been great. As Glass eye says, the key thing is to go with attitude that you want to experience a different hunt and don't get too hung up on the comparative size of trophies or market values of the two hunts. The big draw for me is the...
Hi Guys,
I'm about to set myself up with my first bow. I've narrowed down my sight choice to either the Axcel Accutouch HD slider 3 pin or the Black gold Ascent verdict assault 3 pin. I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts on both these sights, which one would you choose and why?

It's been a long time since I joined this forum but I've not been active recently so I thought I'd change that and share a great Chamois hunt I had in late April this year.
Down here the Chamois rut usually starts in May and is winding down by early June. I had taken three days off work either...
Thanks LopeHunter, this is the stuff I'm trying to get my head around at the moment and it looks like there's some great information in the threads on this. I've also been watching Mr Newberg's great shows and gleening some information there. I'm finding myself really drawn to Pronghorn. Chamois...
Thanks for the welcome guys. HuntsByDesign, I'm really interested in the experience of the hunt more than the end result so don't feel you don't have anything to offer. I'd be open to swap hunts with like minded guys. That would be my ideal way to experience hunting in your beautiful country...
Hey everyone,
I'm a new member from Queenstown, New Zealand. I hunt as often as I can, mainly in the mountains chasing Deer, Tahr and Chamois. It's all self guided,back pack hunting on public land. I'd love to hunt in your amazing country and am looking forward to being part of the forum and...
