    "and hung for around 4-5 days". Was that in refrigeration or in the bush? That's a long time to hang in the warm weather (even with cooler nights) without refrigeration. Bone taint can easily set in...

    One of the worst things for gamey flavour is cooking in its blood. If you slice steak then vac pac and freeze then it is imperative to mop up the blood,pat dry each steak when defosted. I use a...

    Oven bag, cheapest bottle of red plonk you can find, and a handful of your favorite herbs and spices. Marinate for a day then cook :)

    I have brined game meats and used buttermilk to good effect I think, but it's hard to say for sure unless you do a direct comparison with the same cuts from the same animal. Buttermilk is a thing,...

    Buttermilk is the leftover liquid from churning butter out of cream. Store bought buttermilk is usually cultured, much like yogurt. It is used in baking much like sour milk. Sent from my...

    Buttermilk is a culture kinda like yogurt. It has lactic acid in it which can help with tenderness and strong flavors. Gamey meat makes the best salamies.

    Based in Christchurch, you will get a lot of shots at 200-300m. You will appreciate the 9x and if you had it 12x as well and use it for a lot of shots in that country. For low light, you will see...

    Moa Hunter liked post by MB On thread : Scope advice
    I like magnification, if that makes me a bad person, I don't care! The scope on my go to rifle has 3.5-14x magnification, BUT I have a dedicated bush gun with a 1.5-5x scope on it which is great. As...

    Moa Hunter liked post by Husky1600 On thread : Left eye dominant shooter, left handed rifle?
    It all comes down to muscle memory. From very early on, most people assume you mount a rifle/gun/bow on the right side, without any thought of checking for eye dominance. Then when left eye dominance...

    Well cheers for that, most days out hunting are fairly similar, but I quite like turning days a bit different into stories, and painting a picture, wouldn't it be nice to write short hunting stories,...

    What you have on will be just fine unless if you decide to start shooting further and dialling. But if your just hunting close reasonable range you can’t beat the old faithful 3-9.

    If using Hodgdon superprofrmance in the summer months at near max take care as it is prone to pressure spikes if your rounds are left at the range in the sun. Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk

    Great stuff. The icecream on the way home is just as important as getting something if not more so :thumbsup:
