Thread: Thank you NZ Hunter!

Just finished watching it.
I have never been interested in any African game except maybe a big Kudu.
Will definitely add Africa to my bucket list after that. Just for the scenery alone would be enough.
Really enjoyed the talk by the PH. regarding trophy hunting.
Poland eh. Some nice looking stags there for sure. Shows what good if somewhat strict management can achieve.
I could relate to the moose hunt. Just about every hunt is last minute after almost giving up. Some of the calling was a bit different to how I was taught.

Thought the fella who guided in BC saying you get 300lbs of meat off a moose was off by nearly half. Unless he was talking about moose in Alberta in particular. They're big boned but average over 1300lbs as a mature bull in northern BC.
You should yeild 53% weight of meat off a deer or moose.
Fastest and most accurate 2nd shot I have seen with a crank gun. If it was a Kiwi shooting it may have been head or neck shot.

Moose in pic from a couple yrs ago is still the biggest bodied one I have encountered. Just a beast of an animal. Client in pick isint a small man either.
His track was longer than my size 10 Lowa boot. I have cut up half a dozen bulls with a bit of help from the client holding things. This fella took 2 of us to hold a leg up while the 3rd worked the knife.
