Thread: Hunting with Trekking Poles

"As for the hunting side of things, with the rifle on my shoulder, it was obviously no problem. When close to an animal, had the rifle in one hand and the pole in the other. Laid the pole down when getting in to position to take a shot. Can see it getting lost if I do that a lot. Wouldn't want it in very dense bush, but overall, I think it's a win".

Try holding the rifle fore end and the top of the pole in your non trigger hand to steady yourself for the shot.

Cheers, I'll give it a go, but not in that bit of bush. I had to climb over the fallen tree in the photo, plus two others. Ended up laying on the last tree and shooting the animal almost straight down from above!
