Thread: Hunting with Trekking Poles

I've used a hill stick for years, got plenty of them sitting aside for when I wear the next one out. After 35 years of guiding I've seen clients bring all sorts of trekking poles to use when either fishing or hunting. And I've yet to see any that survive long enough to justify the ridiculous price you pay for them. None of them will stand up to the use and leverage that a good Manuka stick will take. When I was fishing guiding it got so bad that I would refuse to allow a client to use a trekking pole cos they're also so bloody noisy! tink, tink, tink all the way up the bloody river. Dont get that with a good ol' Manuka hill stick.
