    Importing antlers to MT

    Hi, I'm looking at sending a set of red stag antlers to a knife maker in MT. Just wanted to see if anyone has imported them before and if so what if any permits or paperwork are required? I contacted the state usda but never got a response, which is helpful. Thank you

    hornady monoflex experience

    Very interested to know people's experience with these on game. Particularly larger game. Probably going to buy some for hunting red stags and buffalo but at $75 per box of 20 I want to know they're as good as Hornady tell me.

    LOWA ranger reviews

    G'day, My last pair of boots are knackered after my last mountain hunt a few weeks back. I loved them but they're no longer made so I'm looking to try something new. Wondering if anyone has tried the LOWA rangers and what you thought of them? Old pair Cheers

    SG sales

    G'day, I've been spending more time researching packs than I'd like and ended up deciding to go with a SG sky 5900. The whole thing of packs not coming with lids, bladder sleeves, pouches, rifle slings and rain covers makes as much sense to me as selling a new car without an engine but that's...

    Hanging Euro/skulls

    G'day, Wanting to know how others hang their skulls/euros on the wall? I'm not going to spend $100 on the skull hooker things and mounting them to a board doesn't really do it for me. Appreciate any other suggestions or designs.

    In need of a hand

    G'day all, None of you really know me from a bar of soap and I'm the same for you all so I apologise for asking, but I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out. I'm in need of a few things that are hard to get in Aus, one item in particular has hit a wall here. For my new hawken I'm...

    Caplock sabot

    Hi guys, I currently shoot an inline but would like to get myself a percussion cap rifle at some stage. We don't have a lot of offerings in Aus but Pedersoli seem to be most common. My question is can these rifles use mono sabot's or will they not have sufficient twist rates or not be able to...

    Next Generation

    Haven't been on the forum for a while so thought I'd chuck up a coming back story. Got a pounding headache currently so I'll be brief. Unfortunately due to Covid we lost our hunting privileges for a couple of months here, which happened to extend through the entirety of the red stag rut and hog...

    Powder options for inline

    G'day all, Firstly, looking for powder recommendations for my TC triumph. I've always ran alliant black mz which is no longer made and they don't import the new blue mz into Australia. Whitehots and BH209 also doesn't get imported. I spoke to the aussie distributor and apparently hodgdon have...

    Things in nature

    Like most I think there is room for great appreciation for all things not game when out hunting. Beauty in nature is part of what draws me to her. Thought it'd be neat if people wanted to share some of their finds. I will kick things off with a couple of recent hunts. Fox skull Sun dew...

    Muzzeloader projectiles for buffalo

    Any suggestions for a 50 cal? Going later this year and tossing up taking the BP. Barnes aren't an option in Australia.

    Rabbit recipes?

    G'day, Grew up eating rabbits in standard stews and soups, the old man makes some nice rabbit pies on occasion. Always keen to try something new. Anyone got good rabbit recipes worth trying?

    Moose hunts

    G'day, My wife and I are looking to do an international trip together next year. It has to be somewhere that I can hunt but also then do some things with her. My two real considerations are Africa and North America. Seeing as my caribou dreams were quashed I thought I'd try moose which I...

    Archery for idiot - help needed

    I've always loved archery, I bought my first compound in 2012 and back then it wasn't as big as it is now in Australia. The downside to that was that I didn't know any bow hunters to help me out. I hunted a fair bit with it, eventually upgrading to an Elite Impulse 34 a few years ago. Even at...

    Yabby

    Christmas in Aus means summer, so lots of beer and bbq's, especially seafood. For us inlanders it's all about our native crustacean the Yabby. Got a "good feed" of them as we would say over christmas with some big blokes among them. Including a few this size. The long neck beer bottle is a...

    Affordable caribou hunts

    Anyone know of any? Interested in a wilderness type hunt in the next couple of years. Would love DIY but not American so can't hunt AK myself. Any suggestions appreciated.

    Living in Australia

    We're breeding my gsp bitch at the moment and on the way to pick up the dog a roo jumped out in front of my wife's car. In my defense she insisted I take it! Roo didn't fare well.

    Hunting the great southern land

    G'day, I thought about putting up a big post about Australia and I may yet one day but I thought for the meantime I'd do a quick rundown of Australia and what there is to hunt. This is by no means 100% complete, I'm mostly a southern hunter. Australia, formerly the worlds largest island and...

    Looking for fried fish recipe

    G'day all, In Aus if we fry fish it's in batter which I don't love. But I see you guys do it in cornmeal (i think our equivalent is polenta). This looks to be crunchy but not dripping in oil so that you end up with a gut ache. I'm doing some ocean fishing with the lads next weekend and as the...
