Looking forward to it!!

Awesome, great show,bugger about that stag

oh yeah baby....will be on it for sure....dont plurry miss this time or someone might have to buy you a poohseventy LOL

@GregD - what’s your Neopod setup in the stock?

Found the part where it showed the federal ammo pack to feed your fat max funny. The rounds didn't come from the box but your pocket, and I doubt the fat max is a factory made round.
Good show though.

So how many people are going to look for that stag yous left this year??????

The way you jump onto those wet rocks when water crossing amazes me. What sort of boots or traction addition are you wearing. Me I would of arsed up on the first attempt.

+1 I'd just be accepting wet feet

Gimp, the wobbly unlockable swivel of the Neopod is a barstard, so we stole an idea off the much better Javelin and made up that magnetic fitting with a female fitting in the stock, and the male fitting attached to the bipod - the opposite way round to how they come. We also incorporated a dog clutch in the male/female connection to eliminate the swivel, as the neopod's quickly adjustable leg length makes the swivel unnecessary. Probably wouldn't bother again, just use a Javelin bipod and be done with it!

Na, Federal don't load the ammo for the 7mm Fatmax, its a wildcat. But we use Federal components and do carry our ammo in those great Federal plastic ammo carriers.

And Smiddy, Gimp hit the nail on the head. No point going looking for that stag, he went out under an R44 along with a bunch of others back in October/November, and many more since. A certain helicopter operator has had great pleasure in rubbing our noses in that one! They have absolutely smashed the whole herd both east coast and west coast since we left that stag, your saw the pics of heaps of velvety stags in the episode. As Willie said last night, its an absolute travesty and it will take years for one of our great trophy herds to recover. The photos I get sent regularly of what they are shooting is enough to make you sick...but as Willie said, they aren't breaking any laws. Roll on the GAC getting some funding to employ staff to finally get some Herds of Special Interest established for our premier trophy herds. That is the only way this boom and bust destruction will come to an end.

And we wear Lowa Tibets on a trip like that. Good grip on wet rocks, but its also a matter of knowing which rocks to stand on. I'm getting too old to jump too far- you see how much further Willie got with his jump!

That's bloody not on! If I knew who that helicopter operator was I would be having words!! As they know when they take animals out of the hills that the poor old ground hunters don't like it. But to rub someone's nose in the fact that they have done so is just very poor form.

I liked your post mate but this is the attitude that has to change.
The operator who would do this is a wanker obviously. No doubt.

But any overreaction would just strengthen their resolve.

I remember while on a venny run I come across a fella high up in the middle of nowhere. I was amazed as it couldn't have been easy.
I thought, I mucked up his hunt and went in to pick him up in order to drop him anywhere he wanted.

He pointed a rifle at us and then looked like he was picking up rocks to throw.

I got out of there but I have to admit, it put a bad taste in my mouth regarding recreational hunters for a long time.

Sorry but I really disagree with that. An operator rubbed a hunters nose in the fact that they had shot a stag the ground hunter had been after. And I think that is very poor form and said as such. There was no over reaction. Why is thinking another's behaviour is "not on" an attitude that has to change? Don't I have the right to be upset at another human's actions???......

I obviously didn't come across right. Not what I was saying.
What do you think would happen if you had words with said operator?

And in fairness what does it have to do with anyone but the people concerned.
Only they know the truth.

To have a change that benifits everyone, we have to be proactive. Not reactive.
