    Can intestines fall out of a running deer!?!?

    Yes, I’ve seen it happen with large mechanicals on a shot that is back and low. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    WTS FS: Tenzing TZ 2220 backpack

    I’ve had this pack for a year and like everything about it except that the waist belt doesn’t adjust quite small enough for my 32” waist. The back of the pack allows for lots of airflow. The side pocket fits a 65mm vortex spotter well. Has an integrated bow or rifle holder as well. This pack is...

    New Zealand Public Land DIY Trip recap

    We were lucky enough to befriend a kiwi who was nice enough to show us around and let us use his grill/large pot to clean red stag skull caps. I actually cleaned the tahr skull caps on the mountainside in an old Dutch oven one of us found under a large overhanging rock. Once back in town, we got...

    Yeah, same here. That is why I was hoping to get them some support through this post.

    New Zealand Public Land DIY Trip recap

    I should have been better about writing this stuff down, but I think the van rental cost ~400 NZD plus gas for 14 days. The chopper drop off was just over 500NZD per person (2150 NZD total), but that was for two round trips, as we could not fit all four of us and gear in one trip. The chopper...

    New Zealand is one of the few countries in the word that you can bring game meat back into the US from.

    New Zealand Public Land DIY Trip recap

    This is a bit of a delayed trip recap and PSA, as we have been back for well over a year now and I'm just getting to posting this. I thought this would be an opportune time to post given the current Tahr situation in New Zealand. I spoke to Robby Denning and he agreed that I should post this...

    Anyone want to go bowhunt in NZ with me?

    I think a NZ hunting permit would qualify as a previous hunting license and work for most states. If you need a US based Hunter Ed course, now is the time to get one. Due to Covid, NY suspended all in person courses and is offering them entirely online. I believe that a NY Hunter or Bowhunter...

    NZ Tahr fighting for its life

    I traveled to NZ in April 2019 on a diy public land tahr, stag, and chamois hunt. It was an incredible trip highlighted by 5 days in tahr country. They are really amazing animals living in some truly wild places. The South Island of NZ is a very rural place not unlike a lot of areas in the US...

    East Coast going West

    I like uninsulated Lowa Tibet GTX boots, but as said before, you've gotta get something that fits your foot, then make sure they are broken in well.

    East Coast going West

    Glad to be of some help. It's incredible out there, enjoy it and get back out there as soon as you can. Let me know if you have any specific questions. Here are a few suggestions: 1. Bring a pair of well broken in Boots. 2. Get a good quality pack that fits you well. Your back will appreciate...
