    Looks like instagram changed their algorithm in the last 24 hours?

    Just about all that I follow on instagram is hunters and knife makers. I checked my feed today, and pretty much every second post is how peoples accounts are now restricted to existing followers only and wont be shared with other members. One of the knife makers I follow had photos of him in...

    Got away for a weekend deer hunt with my son

    I spoke to a friend a few weeks back about a visit to his property. I mentioned a couple of possible weekends and he said the 30/9-1/10 worked best for him, so we booked it in. Then a week before we were due to leave, I realised it was the Australian Football League grand final weekend with a...

    Anyone used Tubb DTAC .338 with nosering?

    I had never heard of the nosering'd DTAC until Ryan's 6UM thread. Seeing the results of the 6mm nosering made me curious about what DTAC bullets were on offer. I did some searching and found that a 299gn 338 DTAC is available. I am thinking about trying some in my 338 edge, but just thought I...

    Any terminal ballistics reports on the heavy/high BC 270 bullets?

    I am thinking about building a fast twist 270 cal rifle. Either a 270 Win or a 270WSM throated to use long bullets. I have been able to find a couple of barrel makers here in Aus that can make something that would work for this project, either a 1/9" twist, or a 1/7" twist. Given that pre 6.8...

    My knife builds

    I have posted a few of my knives in the past, but thought I would start a thread to keep all my builds together. This one is pretty different design to anything I have done before. Its inspired by a guy on another forum who had something like this custom made for slicing ribs of pig carcases...

    Devastated by Lil Rokslider

    When I first joined Rokslide, I was intrigued and excited to find that through simply posting on the forum, I could work my way up to the exalted status of Well Known Rokslider. Frankly, the benefits accruing to WKR members seemed staggering to me. Where else could I earn the right to steal...

    Fallow deer hunt in South East Australia

    Went out with my son for a private land fallow hunt on the weekend. Definitely different country than we were used to hunting. This was an invitation to hunt the properties managed for fallow deer, so we were only allowed to shoot does, or cull bucks (ie no spike bucks, no bucks showing the...

    Latest knife I made

    This blade was ground on my old mutitool grinder from 12C27 stainless. G10 handle scales with stainless pins and lanyard tube. I had the heat treat done professionally, but otherwise everything is my work from start to finish. I kind of cocked up the bevels, so salvaged it as best as I could...

    Hunting pants

    Hi guys Looking for recommendations for hunting pants, probably first lite, kuiu or Sitka, but open to all brands. I know there are plenty of threads out there, but I am in a little different situation. The below hopefully gives some insight into what I am asking and why. I live in Victoria...
