duckshooting is a LOT more than sit in maimai over decoys and gangbang birds that come in...pretty hard to showcase that though... the episode they did as tribute to Ziggy brought tear to my eye....and a lot of other folks who watched it said they too were reaching for tissue box. that and the episode where they did the old tech Vs new tech are two of the best ones ever...and to give credit where its due they have done at least two deer stalking episodes along similar lines...Willie shot yearlings with a sako 222 and fixed 4x on one and got yearling with SMLE and open sights on another....they tried for sika stag this time last year with SMLE too so they do at times mix it up,Fe really gets in the rough stuff up close n personal with sika..definately capable up close as well as out long.

I dont recall a rusa one but the .222 vixen in the Ruahines pricked my ears - he had borrowed it from a mate of mine - I had sold same chap a vixen several years before as I had ended up with two - did not get a good look at it to see if it was my old one - would like to think so - but yeah good show certainly better watch than hunting Aotearoa
