    Hornady Monoflex reviews

    G'day all, Looking for feedback on the 250gr Hornady Monoflex most particularly with large game such as elk, moose, Brown bear and bison. Our options are very limited in this part of the world so no Barnes, thor, TC, powerbelt, parker. Hornady are actually the only brand I've been able to...

    Don't believe everything you see in Instagram etc(poaching)

    To give some further background on the game/pest part. At the moment in New South Wales deer are classed as game. There has however been an outcry from a limited number of farmers which catches the ear of the ever left leaning government about exploding deer numbers and a push to class them as...

    I really like your attitude toward this, if you're ever down in south east Australia send me a message and I'll see if we can't tee up a hunt.

    I'm just very familiar with the attitudes of contemporary hunters in Australia. He has a complete lack of respect for the resource and considers them a tool for social recognition as do many people. If it happened in my state where deer are given more protection he would have received a bit more...

    Recoloring velvet stripped/spoiled antlers, how to: trial and error edition

    Freezing velvet won't permanently preserve it, within a few years it'll most likely start to peel off amd shrivel. If you can get your hands on formaldehyde that'll keep it good. I had a fallow buck injected for a mount and he's as good as the day i shot him. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    Any pemmican recipe success?

    Interested to try it for no reason other than curiosity and wondering whether others have had success with it? I'm not too sentimental about the traditional recipe. Thinking it'd be nice with some s&p, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder. Some pointers would be great though. Cheers...

    That doesn't surprise me in the slightest, i truly hope they copped it. I honestly could not tell you how many headless deer carcasses I've found. All i can say is it far outweighs the number of carcasses with recovered meat. One thing i did notice which was kind of the final straw for me with...

    Don't believe everything you see in Instagram etc(poaching)

    Fact of the matter is in my lifetime I've seen the dynamics of hunting change. When i was a kid I'd never heard the term "trophy hunting". People just hunted deer kept the antlers and ate the meat. In my opinion the advent of social media and boom in hunting mags along with higher numbers of...

    Don't believe everything you see in Instagram etc(poaching)

    Ive said before Australia isn't US, we have almost a culture of poaching working in the shadows because enforcement has been so lax. I could point people to a dozen social media pages of guys who promote clean ethical hunting and all that jazz that are prolific poachers, some of whom have been...

    How would you do this recipe without fermento? I don't think it's available in Australia. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    7x57 suggestions

    Thanks for the recommendations, i ordered some 150gn ttsx but after a four month wait and no indication when they would come off back order i cancelled. It can be tough sourcing stuff here. 130 gn is the legal minimum in my state too. Availability and price is the pain here, partitions are...

    7x57 suggestions

    Half? That's an exaggeration in my experience it's at least 3/4 [emoji16] Who does 180s in 7mm? Berger? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    7x57 suggestions

    I'm a hunter not a shooter so 900 yard shots aren't on my radar, half that is about as far as I'm willing to go these days for personal fair chase reasons. My rifle is a custom job with a strong action so I'm not worried about pressures. I had it built with a 1:9" twist so it will probably...

    7x57 suggestions

    Just looking for some suggestions on a projectile worth trying on elk from a 7x57. If not familiar with the calibre a 7mm08 is pretty similar. I've read a bit online, mostly from magnum fans that this cal aint suitable for elk. I figure if walter bell can shoot several hundred elephants and...

    suggestions on grilling very lean steaks

    Jeez, steve rinella says the word sous vide and all of a sudden it's everywhere! I find lean cuts are the most straight forward, get a hot grill going, rub some olive or peanut oil over the meat (great for lean meats), sprinkle s&p and cook to medium rare. Somehow the myth of flip once still...

    Massive Shiras??

    I want to believe they're around but i don't think so anymore. I read a book from the 80s think it was called Call of the moose, if i recall correctly there was some evidence they hung on longer than originally thought. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    First off, great of you to join up and put one post up to defend AG, it's what mates are for i guess. The way you say "no name aussies" implies your one of those that think social media gives some sense of superiority. The best hunters i know don't waste their time chasing acknowledgement for...

    Old Swaros or New Budget bino

    In broad daylight average binos are just as good as high end ones. It's the first and last minutes of the day when the real differences come into play. And for a spot and stalk hunter (at least in this part of the world) that's when you see the big boys. Meopta and vortex are good, but they're...
