Great article by a true sportsman. I studied with him at Otago yrs back. Always forthcoming with his time and his boundless energy.

If he really is a thumper, and you have sole access, maybe leave him until after the rut? Then he can pass on his thumper genes. (Isn't Thumper the rabbit from Bambi?) Identify your target beyond...

It's an interesting point you raise. A property I used to hunt said that they never got any stags. When I first went there I hunted a few times with the camera and didn't shoot the first thing I saw....

Its times like this, you can call yourself a hunter rather than a shooter. You could have but you chose not too. Its been said that fallow never travel any more than about 2.5km from where they were...

Arthurs Pass is a tricky one as here are also a few individuals (local residents) who continue to feed the kea, despite numerous pleas to stop, which promotes scavenging behaviour. Private houses...

Yeah, the point of this comment re lead ammo was not about our species but the impact we have on others. The major killer is cats and stoats but there is still an alarming amount falling sick and...
