Leaving a carcass overnight is not something I would do by choice, but if it's down to being safe I'd take the risk of the meat spoiling. If I could get to the animal but not have enough time to do...

The one new age talk is “Cut em”! Absolutely hate it, you usually here it in duck shooting videos. We would just say “Now”! What’s wrong with that it’s shorter too! Oh well must be getting old! As...

Yep, it was a good common sense post Tahr - and something I'll try to follow. I was more asking if I HAD to leave it overnight would the meat be ok. I'd taken my young boy out and had shot just on...

I should clarify, first time I rolled an ankle, came back in the morning with the quad, no way I was going to be able to carry it out that night. Have had two that I couldn't find after a couple of...

I’ve only done it once, in the middle of summer. My friend shot one at long range and there was no time to go get it. We just avoided taking the eye fillets as they’re close to the guts but...

Have never done it. Hate the thought of it. I know others' do it. When I was meat hunting in the Ruahines often enough I would find them in the dark and then bivy there and carry them out in the...

Have left them overnight a couple of times for a few reasons. If you have spent a bit of time looking and can't find it if you come back to civilization see if anyone has a dog to take for a walk the...

Thanks everyone for the advice. In retrospect, the relative simplicity of Option C should have been a massive hint that getting a .308 was the right choice. I suppose I will just have to pick...

Haven’t put up any posts etc for a while so thought I’d talk about the last few trips I’ve done this summer in the Ruahines. The first trip was an overnight volunteer trip into the Northern...

I can walk you through the reloading process, pretty busy over the next 5-6 weeks but should be able to arrange something for early March
