   Bella did a neat thing yesterday. I fluffed a standing shot at 100 yards and hit a fallow spiker through the third rib. The sound and sight picture gave me a sinking feeling. It was in quite thick...

   Having spent a reasonable amount of time in the Kaimais, a somewhat counter-intuitive method when you are getting barked at is to "bark" back (your best impression anyway). In many cases deer will...

   Here's my 2 cents.. Having had a few different scopes, VX3/5/6, Z5, Z8i, V4 and a few others. Keep it simple! You don't need a huge big scope on your rifle to hunt deer/chamois/tahr etc and with a...

   Breaking shoe laces is another one that slows you down. I've had to improvise once with Nylon cord I use to hang deer up with. Worked well.

   I carry a roll of red and a roll of blue. Useful for marking where a shot was taken from when recovering a animal for example.

    Keep at it. Your hunting one of the toughest bits of bush NZ has to offer. Work the area, find the more huntable areas and keep going back. Good odds are 1 deer every 3rd trip is what I would be...
