Thread: Help out a begginer

I think I have that red door book by saxton or a similar one, or is it the bush craft one?
What sort of gun your carrying Dawg? Is it properly sighted in?

Hey Dawg - I'm not a bushstalkers arsehole, so I just find clearings and slips, and wait for them to come to me (got to be at first light or last light). Beats crashing around in crumbly rock and crackling bush like a draught horse. I get the odd one in the bush, but shit I scare a lot doing that. I think the key is to get to know your area, and the only way to do that is to get off the track. If you are like me when I started, I was too scared to wander too far in case I got lost. Get familiar with using a map and compass (with a backup GPS), and explore. I'm still learning too, but I was lucky to have a mate show me around, and put me onto some spots. Sorry Dawg - sworn to secrecy on those spots.

Haha thanks Lentil, i will try your tactic's off staying and one place at dawn and dusk because i imagine that i sound something like a herd of elephants crashing through the bush when i am in "stalking mode".

Hi Dawg,
just wondering how you have got on? I have recently started hunting the Akatarawa area and are having the same issues you were.

Savageshooter i am carrying a Remington 700 chambered in 7mm08 i have sighted it in for 100 meters which i figure is good enough for the bush. Rifle shoots pretty well, i am no marksmen but i can hit clay birds out to 100 meters 5 times out of 6 so i figured i should be accurate enough, but always trying to get better...
