high country hunter

I do all sharpening by hand, on a stone with a bit of motor oil for primary sharpening, then maintain the edge with a steel. The angle i use? no idea, i just keep sharpening until the knife will dry shave the hairs off my arms.

i use an origanal bowie knife for skinning and butchering. i also carry a cheap serated knife to split the brisket on deer.

i use a ZEUS Q5 fox hunter, its got 250 lumens, cree led, runs on rechargeable lithium ion battery, and it came with two barrel mounts, pouch, an extra tail cap with pressure pad, and its built on a one inch tube so its easier mount it to a scope which i prefer unless the rifle its going on has open sights, then i use one of the supplied barrel mounts.

gold!!!

well today i had my annual cash flow come in, (birthday money ) so i went to the city, but the gun shop didn't have any redfield bino's, but they had a pair of leupold rogue 8x42's for $240, after comparing them to a few other bino's he had in stock i decided they were by far the best value for money so i bought them. once i got home i was pretty keen to try them out so i attach a crooked horn bino harness that my brother won from this for one of his storys then got up on the roof and scanned some hills around my house. i spotted a few mobs of roo's and watched my neighbor's dog take a crap on his fire wood pile lol . crystal clear image, large depth of focus, only $240. i'm happy haha

i've been considering buying one as they're relitively cheap and 'should' have good quality optics (i haven't looked through a pair yet as i haven't been to the big smoke in a while ,) and every review i've read about redfield scopes have been extremely good, but i haven't been able to find one single review about the rebel binoculars. i'm open to other suggestions that can be purchased through gunshops (mum and dad won't let me buy things online with they're credit card .) any advice would be much appreciated. cheers.

i've used button whistles, tenterfields and scotch predator callers and IMO the button is virtually useless except for small gulleys on windless days, the tenterfields are excellent but it takes a while to learn how to use them effectively, and the scotch predator call is the best of the three as they are easier to control the pitch and volume of the squeals. as for electronic calls, i can't imagine one of the portable callers being much louder than a button whistle, but i reckon they'd go alright hooked up to a cars sound system.

i use a compact nikon coolpix L3 for trophy shots when i'm hunting by myself, but if my brother comes out shooting with me he always takes his nikon D60 DSLR.

G'day everybody. i'm stu and i own a weatherby vangaurd in 30-06 topped with a bushnell elite 3200 3-9x40 which i use for both sambar and fallow, and i use my brothers ruger mkII VT in 220 swift with a Nikko Stirling 4-16X44 for all foxes and feral cats. i also hunt quite often with my dads BRNO model 2 and Mossberg 195-KA.
