Hi All, I've planned a trip to Namibia but circumstances have meant I need to go a little earlier than planned. At this point I'm looking at mid May this year will this be too early in the season? I'll be bowhunting which will be primarily over water holes I suspect. kind regards bruce

I know I'm a bit late to reply to this but to add to the thread with experience from Australia. My brother shot a Red stag during the rut in March this year at 25m, it was a quatering away shot with a Rage 3 blade , 400 grains total weight, out of his Mathews Monster on 65#. Plenty of artillery...

I've recently been in touch with an outfitter to plan my trip and he has suggested multiblade heads for blood trailing should the shot not be as good as hoped and planned for. I normally use a single bevel 2 blade head but will probably use a 2 blade fixed with bleeder blades to get the best of...

Hi All, my first post on this site and thought I might share my first Red Deer hunt this year. The rut here takes place around Easter and I got access to a property that is in a good area for Reds. My initial scouting wasn't looking too promising until I started seeing more saplings with the...

Hi Fellas, looks like a great forum. I get a chance to chase deer (my fave), pigs, rabbits, foxes and goats here in Australia. I'm a bowhunter because I like the chalenge and I like that I can roll something (or miss and curse queitly) without scaring the rest of the citters around. I do like a...
