    July this year I put in for a Blue Mountains ballot and in August I received news of a successful application and was gifted one of the better blocks. In the meantime, my wife and I had our second...

    High country stag taken with a 80gr eld-m at 366m shot off walking sticks as scub was too high to shoot prone. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53977046084_624fb47259_b.jpg

    I have just finished listening to "The hunt backcountry" podcasts which were mentioned somewhere near the beginning of this thread. I know they are long, but they are well worth it and answer a lot...

    I've got a Kifaru Hoodlum with Duplex frame (cheers hotsoup - it's still going strong mate) and it's a tank, it can take heavier loads than I can deal with and rides better than any pack I've used...

    Approaching a likely looking spot I slow, inching forward on my stomach and pushing the 243 out front so it could have a look around, I could see, but only just Binos in hand I peered into the...

    Since I started shooting deer exclusively with a .223 I have lost (1) deer, which I shot in the shin at 270 metres, through a defective bullet or operator error - it was wildly inexplicable. A .338...

    Actual specific bullet function matters much, much more than the 3 digits stamped on the brass. You cannot compare a 50-55gr basic SP (old .222 fodder) to a more modern heavy-for-calibre bullet...

    We all know of a thread here that has currently 136 pages of data showing .22 centrefire cartridges (typically .223) taking medium game. I’m on the side of the believers, owning and using a 1-8”...

    It's a similar velocity at the muzzle, to a .223 with a good 80gr at 500 metres. But half the bullet weight. By 100 metres, the 40gr .22WMR bullet is similar velocity to an 80gr .223 at 800...

    The end of a very long day, trudging noisily up hill to camp. The dog stops and fully locks up. After standing still for what felt like an eternity (probably 3 minutes) I spotted a hind ghosting...
