Well summer is here now well and truly and it’s very hot in the high country!
There’s not much game animal movement in the middle of the day, but those long evenings are just superb!

- We start a new series – Pimp Your Bush Rifle
- Jamie delights us with his photographic swansong
- Simon goes Red stag hunting in the high country
- The BRB scores a Sika stag and talks freezers
- We tag along on Jason’s tahr hunting stag party
- Warren gets a huge boar – eventually!
- Johnny’s gives us the low down on cookers and cooking for the bush
- Gywn and Malisa take us on an alpine ice adventure
- Carol bows her first Sika
- Shawn takes us “rock hunting” for practice
- Mike has a wasp encounter
- David shows us what can be done with trophy heads harvested too early
- Roy suffers the trials and tribulations of take a kid hunting!
- Teresa chooses a pup
- Paul lays out for Mallards
- I talk temperature issues with powder in our new “Tech Talk” series
- Chef Tony cooks Fallow venison with Kumara and Beetroot relish – yum!
