Hunters Element ;) Drop me a PM

Then a quick 9 hour train ride to Austria to see my good friend Wolfi, where I did a little more hunting with him. I had two very memorable moments there. One was shooting a very nice 6 point buck in the mountains And the other was being with Wolfi when he shot this old buck in...

My week there ended far too quickly, but the next adventure was absolutely amazing, it too disappeared far too fast. I was in the North of Germany, hunting something very special- a black Roe buck I had a week of hunting the black buck, much of the time was spent sitting in a...

I wrote this for a New Zealand forum, but since I acquired some of the years stalking through this forum I thought I would re-post it here. Thanks I always enjoy looking back at my photos from the year and enjoying the memories. I woke up crook as a dog this morning, so thought I'd take my time...

Yeah, that just about broke me! The boys didn't think I could carry it...so, challenge on!

Thank you all for the personal messages. I am really looking forward to heading over next year and meeting a few of you! Sorry I have been so slack at replies lately, I have found it hard to get online whilst the silly spring season takes off on the farm! I will be in touch this evening. Thanks...

Hi Buckaroo, I have a few contacts already to hunt Roe, but they are by far my favorite animal to hunt in your part of the world so I would be interested in talking with you some more about what you would like to swap. Please send me a PM. I have a couple of PM's to reply to, thank you for...

I am off to England and Europe next August for a couple of months to predominately hunt Roe. Two animals I would dearly like to hunt are Mouflon and Chamois. I have cut my teeth on Chamois and Tahr in New Zealand, and spend as much time as I can in the mountains here. I am very keen to do a swap...

Interesting you didn't answer my query. This last photo is from the same place, not far from where you shot your doe-is that correct?

Here you go, will fish out some photos later. (You'll see that I put some stills from East Edwards in there to put people off the track ;) ) May I ask what animals you have taken out of the area we were talking about? thanks, ​James

Yes, it is a great spot that I have been going to for years and years. I knew it soon as I saw your photo, for some reason my brain wrote down ghost stream because I automatically thought of what happened in Ghost and Dry creek a few years ago...people shot them out, they didn't leave the...

Sorry, I am wrong about the spot. It is further north is it not? Does this look familiar? It is a good spot that I never abuse and I never shoot does. There was a doe with twins in the main basin last year.

Thanks Ian. Yes, I am using pure lead for my projectiles which are 380gr maxiballs. Powder is FFFg and I'm running 90gr which is max load. Chronographed at slightly more than 1500fps. My biggest concern about hollowing the projectiles that I have now is that they wont stay uniform and could be...

I wrote this article for a New Zealand forum, and thought it might be of some interest here: It all started one evening when Zeff Veronese pulled out his 50 cal black powder rifle. It was a beast of a thing, and boy did we have some fun with it. Massive amounts of noise, piles of smoke and the...

Ghost stream chamois doe?
