    2018 New Zealand Expedition

    Ndbowhunter- Thank you for all the advice. I'll make good use of it for sure. I'll try to keep all my parts intact while I'm chasing them around the hills. Nice tahr! Merc- We will do some fishing for sure. I haven't decided if I will bother with the fly fishing gear though. Conventional tackle...

    2018 New Zealand Expedition

    I have been consuming quite a bit of Australian sambar hunting footage on YouTube the last few weeks. I would love to chase them.

    If I can convince the change in my pocket to start breeding I may take you up on that. In all seriousness if my budget looks like it will allow for that then I will PM you. Cheers

    2018 New Zealand Expedition

    I have the permit forms saved on my computer. I figured a stop in wouldn't hurt to make sure I have my ducks in a row. 1.That data plan is a bit cheaper than my international plan so I'll check that out. I have an inReach for communication anyway. 2. The rental vehicle was actually super cheap...

    2018 New Zealand Expedition

    My hunting experience: This will be my 20th year big game hunting, as strange as that feels to say. Almost the entirety of my experience has been in the southeast US hunting whitetail deer and pigs, the only exception being a black tail hunt on POW island Alaska. Most of this local hunting has...

    2018 New Zealand Expedition

    I'll need them to be dumb as posts to stand around while I get into recurve range. So that is a confidence booster. As far as reds go I don't find much alluring about those high fence monsters. I wouldn't pass a mature animal. Australia is next on the list and I want to make a dedicated trip to...

    2018 New Zealand Expedition

    A bit about myself: I've been getting quite a few questions lately about how I'm going to be able to make this trip happen. As there is nothing special about me I figured I would share some personal information. That way if anyone is on the fence about whether they can make a trip like this...

    2018 New Zealand Expedition

    I am very inexperienced when it comes to this sort of thing so any and all advice is helpful. The bits that I do know, or learn along the way, I'll be more than happy to share.

    2018 New Zealand Expedition

    I'm not sure if this is the right place for this thread so feel free to move. In a few short weeks two friends and I are heading to New Zealand for two months, the first six weeks of which will be purely for hunting (final two weeks for sightseeing when the girlfriend arrives). This trip has...

    What rifle case for airline travel?

    My pelican has treated me well. Cut the foam to match your rifle and it is great. I don't shoot with a scope but I can't imagine it being a problem. I think I have the IM3200. The same case comes in a deep model if you think you'll need it for the turrets. Hope this helps. Cheers

    Eastern Guys and Floorless Shelter

    Recently, I mostly just put my pad and bag on the ground. I have a tarp that I put up if it looks like rain. I take a tent if I know the mosquitoes will be bad. I'm sure a bug bivy would be the ticket, but I don't have the experience to say.

    Trump Salary Donated

    I will be interested to see how much President Trump's businesses profit off his presidency. I suspect that the profit will outweigh his charity by quite a bit regardless of what you may think are his intentions. Either way, we live in interesting times.

    Wind checker

    I saw one advertised on the sportsman's channel. I don't recall the name though.

    Guns vs. Public Land - Which means more to you?

    In my opinion, I think we are confusing the issue. As of now, we are not choosing between having guns or having public land. We are choosing between having public lands, or having more gun laws. While I do not care for almost all of the proposed gun laws that I have seen the dems bring forward...
