    The grendel is as about as trendy as I'll go. Love my old school calibers. If I do drop a couple of rifles I'll look into a 7x57 and that should do me

    Here’s my 2c: -sell the 6.5-06. The Swede is pretty close performance-wise, but with less recoil and barrel wear -sell the Grendel. Not a great choice for varminting (rainbow trajectory). And for...

    I ran quick load with 59.5 R26 and 85mm for a OAL, 60700 Psi, so high, but not foolish high. guessed 24" barrel lenght. Have you tried a lighter bonded bullet, I like the interbond 154 gr and...

    Moa Hunter liked post by Tikka7mm08 On thread : RSTH episode last night RIVER CROSSINGS
    What a great episode and good call to show how treacherous rivers can be as so easy to get wrong. I took one look at the crossing and said to the wife they won't be crossing there - the depth and...

    Moa Hunter liked post by R93 On thread : Ethics of shooting pregnant / lactating Hind deer
    His genetics will already be in the herd 10 fold prior to him being ready to shoot. He would likely have had 6 or 7 years of breeding. As for contributing to herd management by way of shooting...

    Moa Hunter liked post by Rusky On thread : Ethics of shooting pregnant / lactating Hind deer
    I've shot a heavily pregnant hind in March. Unusual but does happen. Typically I'll leave them alone October onwards. But as others have pointed out they are pregnant from April onwards so really...

    Moa Hunter liked post by XR500 On thread : RSTH episode last night RIVER CROSSINGS
    150-200 years ago drowning whilst crossing rivers was known colloquially as "The New Zealand death". For a very good reason. And yip, I too remember being taught how to cross rivers waaay back in...

    I picked the same as you mate, 25-30m upstream looked better and gave you more margin for outage if it turned to shit. I've done a couple of Land SARS crossing courses with the NZDA and this was an...

    Ha just what I was telling my kids, fast water above the knees is a big no no. I remember that from a kid, going to school in Chch (Form 3 or 4 I think) we were taught how to do river crossings. I...

    At no point did I call you unethical. Simply pointing out alternative lines of thought. The ethical way isn’t always the only ethical way. Especially with the situation we have here in NZ.

    This here is exactly what I mean by the can of worms. You have to draw a line somewhere. Hinds need to be shot and let’s be honest, the best time of the year to ethically shoot them (winter) is not...

    We are pretty lucky to be gifted with it being our own individual choice based on our own circumstances, where we are hunting, what we have seen and what we want to do etc. It really is a can of...
