Pen job. We dont have any pure Elk left in the wild. We have only ever had a small area with free range/wild elk and that has been contaminated with Red deer for a long time now. Best ones are 50/50 or 60/40 Elk/Red deer cross. Even most of the high fenced Elk has some Red blood in them and...

You have to understand those are not free range sizes, but 'estate' sizes. A 300"SCI Free range Stag is MASSIVE, and most areas will not produce those heads. 250-270 SCI is a very good free range head in most areas. SCI medal category change over time as they are averaged out over the book. What...

As as has been said above I think ol Dr Bob has been a bit fooled on this hunt. Unfortunately this happens alot with foreign hunters in NZ. No fault of his, only the misleading info provided by the guides/outfitters. There is no way that stag is a 'free range' animal. try and enter it in the...

no reason why you cant hunt them in the day. I have only ever hunted wild pigs in the day(in NZ so maybe a little different) early morning and late evening they will be feeding. in the day the will usually be bedded up in creek/stream system. you can just stalk through creek beds and find...

Hey guys Im new to archery(got my bow about 2 months ago) and cant afford a fancy target to shoot at. I have been using old wheat sacks filled with foam and woolen blankets which works really well for field tips. Any one else using DIY target?

All the suppressors I have used are NZ made and reduce recoil by 30-50% easily. A 7mm rem mag is like a .223 to shoot. they are great things.

Hey guys No doubt you have probably seen this vid before. Does any one know this guy? Or what set up he is using? Long Range Hunting. 1100 Yard bull moose kill - YouTube ps feel free to move some where if this is the wrong place.

Thats a ripper red man. Hes awesome. some wikid tines on him. yea was hard quartering. was a complete pass through. Im using 125gn Muzzies. she ran about 40 yards down hill dead on her feet. Double lung and cut her windpipe in half aswell

Beautiful country!! very nice. some nice stags aswell. good work

haha yea im one of the few. Awesome man! where did you get that huge red from? NZ or Aussie? the one that is just the skull. Heres my first bow kill chamois from about a week ago few chamois heads. big guy is 9 1/2 inch Wild rams My brother with a couple few tahr...

Your doing pretty well haha. Ive only got Red Fallow Wild Ram Chamois Tahr Goat Pig and wallaby if you count that haha you forgot the hardest of all. A wapiti and A Moose in fiordland haha. Chamois,goat,pig and ram wont be too hard to get.

Good work man!! awesome heads. add a chamois,bull tahr and buffalo to the list and you can retire haha.

Good article. The PLBs are definitely worth the money. Alot of areas can 2-3 days walk from the road end and if you fall/slip a broken leg/ankle wont be much fun. A PLB can get a chopper on its way in no time(here in NZ anyway). Have heard of guys here miss using PLBs which really ****es me...

Hi Guys Just like to share a bit of success I had with my first bow hunt. I got my first bow a 2nd hand PSE X Force Axe about 3 months ago. After alot of ******* about to try an adjust it for me we got it shooting well and I was happy out to 35 yards. I had never bow hunted before and this...
