Thread: 2 STAGS IN ONE WEEK

What an arrogant prick. Hntmad is experienced and sensible, you'd do well to heed his advice. 1080 doesn't get as many as the propaganda would have you believe and saying your not as cruel as other excessive cruelty does not absolve one of cruel choices.

Just watched your video of your first deer kill and read the comments below. Bloody lucky that you found that first deer and managed to put it out of it's misery. You haven't learnt any thing from that have you? I myself would have been bloody embarrassed about the shot and would have never posted it.
I think Brads advise is pretty good, stay on the couch mate and stop taking pop shots at deer where the chances off killing it quickly are almost zero or at least don't brag about it and then wonder why every one is shooting you down.

OMG I don't believe this is the same guy, didn't put 2&2 together, well done on picking that up. Yes we have all made stuff ups but they stay on the hill. Best you get some shooting practice mate, for the benefit of the animal at least.

That video makes me sick everytime I see it.

People live & learn , gezz the things I used to do before I new better shocking , I like to see the posts and read different experiences people have & how they go about things he could have said he got it first shot but didn't so at least he,s being honest, if I was going to be critical of 7mm rm it would be that once you spend a bit of time on here reading posts & getting a feel for the people on here & what they do the advice can be really worth listening to .

Watched the video in its entirety,and really no reason in picking a side as to the perceived right or wrongs.I would hesitate to guess that if one does not come away with learning something about this,then it's a complete waste of ones typing.The previous poster made some great points,and as a young fella(14-15) running around makara and wainuiomata many years ago chasing goats,I believe we would have been guilty of indiscretions that one doesnt really fathom until you have "learned" a thing or two from experienced shooters and hunters.

I have a little shooting experience out of choppers,back in the day,and witnessed serious,accurate shooters have bad days,with occurrences like this video,it did play on their minds, especially when we lost one.We never bagged anyone about it because it was never"intentional" and it certainly made for a more "restrained"shooter as reputations were always on the line.

Its when you meet blokes like Rex Forrester that u understand hunters and shooters if they are worth a shit,are willing to take advice and be humble about there shortcomings.My uncle was a deer culler for the Govt before the Chopper boys,shot everything with a 303 lienfield,I never saw him take a shot where he didn't mean it.......just my opinion...

I think he has stopped the public access to that vid.
@7mm Rem Mag

It is great that you are out there doing it and learning as you go.

But the plea of many on here(including me) to have greater respect for your quarry should not be regarded as harsh criticism or jealousy. They are trying to help you become a hunter instead of a spray and pray you hit something shooter.

I have been there and done that, not proud of it but learned from it.Most experienced hunters on here have also done that(taken shots outside their skill level)

The key point is to recognize you are not as good as you thought you were and practice shooting and refrain from shooting if not 95% confident of a first round clean kill.

Congrats on your Stags.

My brother does all my loading for me and we have been to the range numerous times to test these loads with his gadgets and at all different distances. If I was to put a good scope on the riffle with ballistic turrets then I'm sure I would have the perfect set up for an all round riffle. I guess just starting out this has been a good package from hunting and fishing at $1500 and apart from the scope I wouldn't change a thing, thanks again.

Nice, a late start to the sport. However wisdom and experience to make up for it! Thats what i like to say anyhow
