    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...

    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...

    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...

    External frame pack question

    Gday I've got a question regarding external frames that's always bugged me. Moreso now that im looking at getting a new pack. Say you hike in 9 miles from any roads. Then off you go hunting and while glassing down into a gully during the early afternoon find a good sambar stag (imagine an elk...

    Help on how to hunt these deer

    First up this is about red deer in aus not whitetail, but there's no international section and the methods I'm thinking of is probably best suited to whitetail. Pretty much the deer feed in a paddock and at first light cross onto public land that doesn't allow hunting. I know where they...

    Does it interest people - international hunting?

    I've always wondered as it doesn't really seem to get much attention from Americans. I wonder if it's because a lot of people just don't know they exist or whether they just don't find them enticing. In the day and age of mountain hunting raining supreme and people always looking for another...

    Dedicated cat hunters?

    Is there such a thing? In Australia predator hunting is pretty big and if we had lions I'd be after them all the time. Is it legal to bait them similar to a leopard in Africa? Can you call them in like a feral cat? Does anyone spend enough time after them to learn their habits enough to be...

    Hunting the mighty sambar

    I definitely consider myself a red deer man, just can't get enough of their antler structure, their roaring in the rut and a free range mature red stag is about as hard an animal to hunt as any. But if you ask your average aussie hunter what the number one deer is it will normally be "sambar"...

    End of another aussie hunting season

    Been chasing a couple of stags for most of the year and on the weekend finally caught up with them. My gsp indicated me right to them in thick bush where I busted them out. In the heat of the moment I did shoot the wrong one, though he's still a nice head just a bit too young. Having said...

    Aussie red stag rut

    G'day all, Haven't been on in a while so thought I'd share my 2016 rut success. Apologies for being in the elk section, never remember where to put it. My gsp lead me into this cull stag and after a big roaring match between myself, him and two other stags I decided to take him out of the...

    Brothers aussie 2015 pre rut fallow!

    This year my brother took a cracking fallow pre rut at one of our better blocks. Unfortunately broke his right guard off at the palm, still goes around 240DS without it. sako black bear 9.3x62 with 250gn Barnes tsx handloads did the trick nicely. And the castie I picked up on the same hunt!

    Aussie keen on an elk hunt

    G'day guys, As stated above I'm keen to come for a hunt in the states. It's been something on the cards for a while, I went to uni with a guy from bozeman who became one of my best mates. He's making the trek all the way to aus next year for my wedding so I figure I need to return the favour the...

    Australian hog deer.

    Hi guys, Haven't made a post for yonks so thought I'd break it with this one. This year I drew Australia's biggest tag, the mighty but tiny hog deer! After some scouting trips the hunt came around and I eventually managed to take this nice 7pt stag. I was lucky in that I was the only one of...

    First blackpowder stag

    On Sunday I took my first BP stag out still hunting. Was a 60m front on shot, took him through the neck with 240gn hornady xtp and 110gn Alliant black MZ, down on the spot! He's only a 3 year old 5x5 but any first muzzleloader trophy is a great muzzleloader trophy! Going straight on the wall...

    Looking at WY public land DIY mule deer/antelope combo

    Hi guys, My brother and i are busting to come over next year from Australia for a hunt for antelope and muleys. First up I want to say we aren't greedy, we don't want to come expecting monsters, anything we shoot will be a wall hanger and going straight to the taxidermist. But we do have...
