Thread: This is how you hunt

Really early on in my hunting life I asked an older dude what his secret was, as he was always coming back with deer. Early 1980's, so they were hard to come by.

A book. Was his answer. He was a slip hunter in the shitty ends to the Tararuas and Ruahines. He had his half dozen favorite slips in each set of Ranges, and had blazed away with ex war surplus .303 rounds till he knew the distances to the top and bottom of each the slips. Then when he went hunting he'd get into position, make himself comfortable and get out his book. As he said : I can either bush hunt for 4 hours and possibly get a donk. Or I can sit here for 4 hours and almost guarentee I'll get a deer on this slip.
