Thread: Hunting with Trekking Poles

Greetings All,
Thanks for your input. Picked up some poles from Katmandu (on sale) the other day and took one for a wee walk in the Kawekas this morning. It was not raining but the track was greasy and the poles helped a lot, especially downhill. During one of my Grandpa rests I was thinking about how they could be used as a shooting rest. I found that resting the pole against my knee with my left hand on top gave a pretty steady rest for my imaginary rifle. An imaginary deer would have been in trouble but a real one not so much. Must take the little Bergara next time.
Regards Grandpamac.
