    Rifles Inc. Strata 340 Weatherby

    Yes weight is always an issue like you say, i am just finishing up gathering parts for a .338 rum with stiller action, jewell trigger, mcmillan stock etc it will be a bit heavy for backpacking, but we need a rifle with better capabilities for the longer range shots that do come up then what our...

    Dealing with pooling blood on meat

    Incorrect. I don't put a knife to any animal that is still alive, it is obviously dead, however done right there is still a lot of blood to be drained from a harvested animal in the field immediately after it has died. A lot comes out of the muscles, veins and arteries. Gerald the school of...

    Rifles Inc. Strata 340 Weatherby

    Nice looking shooter, hope it sells for you. What did you do to the rem 700 action for tighter tolerances and improved accuracy?

    Dealing with pooling blood on meat

    Ok thanks for the info, good idea with the pressure behind the diaphragm and the cable ties are a good idea as well. Heck so many guys i know don't even bleed the animal and wonder why their meat is full of blood when they are cooking it. I even get quite fussy now about where i shoot an...

    Dealing with pooling blood on meat

    How do you bleed your animals? I know a few guys over your way pull out the wind pipe etc and i can say in the UK i was very impressed with the general knowledge and set ups associated with field care of animals, cool rooms and self butchery. Much more rounded knowledge then the typical aussie...

    How did your archery hunt go? Did you write up a report on it so others can learn a bit more about the area during the archery season

    MT Regs - Game cameras during seasons?

    So what if somebody was a hunter and genuinely just wanted to get live animals pictures, in an area they didn't have a tag for, or in a season they had already tagged out? I have taken trail cameras to a few different overseas countries i hunt in when i go in an effort to get images of the...

    Hunting those Roosevelts in the forest during archery would sure be fun, great bulls.

    Dealing with pooling blood on meat

    Did you bleed the animal immediately after the shot? I am real fussy with the animals i put in the freezer and no matter where i hit them with the bullet, i pretty much run up there and they all get a knife across the throat, and often i cut into the armpit and create another hole from the...

    MT Regs - Game cameras during seasons?

    I think this is a ridiculous law, but you do make a good point in regards to the mms trail cameras. I would hate to think 'hunters' are sitting at home with a few mms tc's on funnels or fence jumps or corridors or water during season and only heading out when an animal they are targeting has...

    Old buck going down hill?

    Really good post and a lot of effort gone in to find those antlers and follow those deer. Certainly gets the mind thinking about what are the causes and effects to antler growth in deer as their reach maturity and how long they are able to maintain peak antler growth for that animal in that...

    Idaho Middle Fork Tag 20a, 26 & 27 (Help)

    Thats really good advice right there. I have spent plenty of time in idaho, but none where you are going. However i could suggest minimising burning energy in areas that you have already covered. Like don't spend 4 hours climbing a ridge to get into a basin to hunt for an hour then having to...

    Toxic Friend !!!!

    Happens repeatedly in many locations....very unfortunate and i would go for a drive out to see the rancher and explain how important your access is and your long standing friendship and how you don't want any actions by this guy to impact on your current agreement. It seems the older i get the...

    Missouri River Breaks MT- Hunting Elk

    Agree, should be a sticky, although at some stage we all might have been in a similar situation. Best idea is to read through that link a few times and then put yourself in other peoples shoes reading about a guy who wants information and nobody knows him from a bar of soap. Fair chance that...

    New Zealand Hunt video for a Brit (not me!)

    Great to see you have been exploring and seeking adventure over there. How good are the red stags you have been shooting? They are a LOT harder to obtain in the wild on public land self guided then what the average overseas hunter thinks. I sent some american mates hunting self guided up the...

    New Zealand Hunt video for a Brit (not me!)

    That guy is quite 'interesting' to say the least. As for self guided, i would have to say NZ is about the simplest country to do an international self guided hunt in, the hunting isn't easy, you have to work hard, but it is a great place for an adventure with good keen mates. I really don't...

    Taxidermy of Safari #1

    Congrats on a great safari. I have seen dozens of mounts of african animals that i consider sub standard work, both done locally in south africa and also done in the hunters country of residence. But i have to admit your animals have been done superbly and are a credit to the taxidermist...

    What do you do in the off season?

I mean they are only snakes right....this tiger snake got his head caught under the wheels of my toyota on the way up the bush hunting sambar...its NEVER a good sign running over snakes on the way up to remote bush, you always think if they are out and about i better be extra careful...
