Thread: North Canterbury public land hunting

I very rarely sling rifle even when walking in. I don't like how it carries and have never had problem with other people using tracks. Get some funny looks but just give them a big shit eating grin and say "Hello" and keep moving. You are not doing anything illegal and if they want to get upset about seeing an "evil weapon" that's their gig.

Strangely I have had more people stop and ask questions in a friendly manner then not "what are you hunting?", "How big is the bullet" etc.

My compound bow on the other hand seems to scare the ever loving shit out of people. All black PSE DNA, admittedly it is pretty gnarly looking if you don't know modern bows
