Ah ha! Funny, took the vehicle for a WOF this morning, old mate that does them is a keen as hunter, we always swap a few tall tales. Today we discussed our experiences being glared at by Raukumara scrub bulls.

Now I’ve shot and cut up a fair few scrub bulls in Aussie, particularly in NW QLD, always with my .308. Open country, shoot them in the head. But in the riparian bush on the edges of the Mangahaupapa or Raukokore, I didn’t fancy my chances with that rifle and a soft 150 grain. Too dark, too much crap in the way. If any of you been up there and heard those big ball bags moaning their bass rumble at you, you’ll know exactly what I mean. 358 country, and I’d want a staunch bullet.
