Hunters: the roar is almost here

[Pussy]

Since I have held a CPL, I have sadly never had time to go hunting in the autumn.
Have even "lent" my .270 to my foster brother.
Stay safe out there, folks

As long as you can source a good barrel , still great hunting rifles.

.303 rifles would have accounted for more large game animals than any other caliber in NZ

[T.W.R]

Seems though that hunters are like fishermen: great at telling their exploits of conquests but rather tight lipped about the realities of their not so brilliant exploits.

A perfect hunting record is 100% impossible to achieve, there are loses & non 1 shot kills amongst the glory of special hunts as well
