    MB liked post by Flyblown On thread : What little pesties did you bowl over today?
    Some quality longer range .22LR this evening. The only way I can get onto this little warren is from above and quite far away - they hang out around the edges of that little stand of natives between...

    Hmhm, ticklists. I remember sitting in the car listening to two mates. One ribbing the other for forgetting his bolt. And when we hopped out the other realised he forgot one boot. That day I wondered...

    Beech leaves... It's like walking on cornflakes. Shoes make it much worse. Ambush may be the best solution on dry crunchy days.

    One block I hunt is really noisy underfoot. The worst are the rewarewa leaves, closely followed by dry punga leaves and stems. I try to time hunts after a day or two of good rain if possible, a...

    One of the comments on that video has great advice in it as well. Pretty much what I’ve been trying to do, but it is painfully slow and mentally tiring. Results have been good so far though, been...

    The good thing about dry forest litter is when (not if!) you spook the deer you can get a pretty good idea how many there are, because they also make a lot of noise running away. I've got the exact...
