Guys I have hunted with DUH many times and know his ethical standards are very high. His choice of words may not have been the best but he is definitely not a daymaker or poacher and has helped in the conviction of an impressive list of those who do break the law. He was clearly hunting in the...
I just ripped this off the post I put up on Ozdeer.
Once again I found myself on the long drive down to the Vic high country. After stocking up I arrived at camp just after lunchtime and set up camp ready for the first evenings glassing. The first arvo was fairly slow.I spent most of the time...
Well my Edge finally got its first Sambar. Very even and heavy for its size and it will be my first mount to hang off the wall. Shot was pretty close at 324m/354yards.
Why can't those bloody police commissioners leave us LAFOs in piece and concentrate on illegal firearms in the hands of criminals. Talk about focusing on the wrong target.
Norm if you have not already seen the emails made it to AHN caused a shitfight and the ADA has come out and said that "The ADA encourages legitmate debate on ethics amongst its membership. The extract from the email does not represent the views of the ADA and is not a statement by the ADA."

You are dead right there. In Aus there is over 800,000 licenced shooters and if they all stood together the government would not be able to force these changes on us.
300RUM with 240gn SMK is mine but I sure hope it dosn't come to that. Hopefully the edge will be safer as its not a military round. It seems they are mainly after 338 Lapua, 375 and 408 cheytac, 416 barret and 50 cal tacticool rifles.
Have you read the threads about it on AHN Norm? One is up to 28 pages and the other is up to 13 and they have only been going a short time. At least most on there can see that it is only the thin edge of the wedge and that once it starts where will it end. Pump actions and other fast cycling...
I think of even more concern is the push from some state Governments to start confiscating large caliber rifles from 338 lapua and up. It started in SA however I heard of a PTA for a 338 lapua being denied in QLD recently where 50 cals are already banned. Worrying times indeed.
I look forward to seeing a few pics Greg. Its pretty easy with the pics. Just upload them to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket copy the direct link then press the insert image icon when posting and insert link.
I am actually going over to NZ on the 5th of Feb...
Funny that. I wonder what that might be.
In all seriousness though if it wasn't for your help and finding this site I would have never got right into this long range caper and probably would have ended up buying one of those MLR rifles.
Thanks Norm I am very relieved to finally have it. A 338 edge get together is definitely on the cards. Be nice to tie in some Sambar hunting with it down in Vic or else there is Jaws fallow option on our side of the border.
By the way when do you start hunting Sambar again?
We loaded up 50...
