    I do not have any experience with the semi auto wildcat, but they also used the Winchestor wildcat branding on a bolt action a couple years back, and it was a rebranded Toz 78-10 which is actually a...

    Yea you are right. I was explaining that people buying up nz private land to reap the benefits of deer from conservation land will be limited. Although deer are native to America they also manage...

    They’re fine mate. Possibly the odd slightly skinny one, but as others have said pick a good one. Unfortunately your experience with the farmer is all to common. I’ve said it in previous related...

    I don’t know what they have planned, but I can guarantee it will be all about Tuhoe reconnecting with the land. After that it will be about Tuhoe having employment. Then it’ll be about other...
