New Zealand Outdoor Hunting Magazine - Supporting hunters for over 70 years!

I've read a few of his articles, they're very good.
Hopefully he colates them into a book!

Excellent articles 7mmsaum, big thanks, i need stuff like this!

Just downloaded them all, I think I have most of the magazines anyway, but this is like a mini bush stalking encyclopedia. Some great info in these articles.

Rod and Rifle do the same with the Wapiti Blockss and Westland Areas:
Resources » Rod & Rifle » The Magazine For Hunting & Fishing Fans

Thanks Andrew, i had forgotten about them, have saved all to drive for printing later. Cheers.

Printed, ringbindered, read, taken with me on my week hunting sika in Clement Mill rd.

It was great reference material, for when i saw sign in the bush i could go back to camp and read about what the sign was and what it meant etc.

Richie here is the Rushy condensed version which you can copy to a square of toilet paper so it will have a dual use in the bush.

1. Prints on the ground means that deer have walked that way
2. Chewed out leaves on the ground means that deer have been feeding there
3. Poop on the ground means that deer have been crapping there .... and finally
4. Deer on the ground means you have been successful.

Not as hard as we think RR...just takes time to get to know an area and to learn where NOT to waste your time. Luck also has a lot to do with it, unless you're a lousy shot, in which case, you should probably sell your guns and go fishing :-)

Spring is nearly here, I have just re read Martins info as a refresher and I learn more each time i read it.

Or the ol brain forgot some of it and I'm kidding myself that I have only just learnt it

Just think how much i will learn in 5yrs time when i read it again

They are a good read alright , got me started with the Barnes TTSX havnt looked back
