I use the 'Etrex Camo' when hunting and 'Destinator' on the Pocket PC in the car, both work well and are user friendly but tend to struggle occasionaly in the thick stuff.

Also found this on another page, it may jogg someones memory as to where to get them from: But the best light available (and I heard at the time possibly the second best hand held spotlight in the world) was the Nighteater. Made by an eccentric Victorian farmer in his spare time, these had a distinctive orange housing. They would darn near start fires (and would easily melt the vinyl of your car seat if you put it face down too quickly). Smarter pro shooters know the value of a strong beam. If it had one disadvantage, it was that you could easily spot roos that were way past the range of your rifle.

Hi dfox, Try this Link: http://www.lockstockandbarrel.org/OwenGun/Parts%20cat2.htm

I'm pretty sure Cabelas in the US sells them, try their website: www.cabelas.com

Here's mine, always very sharp. Nothing special namewise but they work for me aye. The bottom one I carry all the time when hunting, it's the second one I've had it cost $20 and find it great for all skinning/caping needs. The upper two I normally use for butchering, along with one of those cheap $60 GMC electric Recipricating saws for splitting the carcass etc.

Same here... It just comes down to plenty of practise, I suggest if you have a good Stone and a good Quality Steel you should be set. If you still can't do it, drop in and see your local Butcher and get a few tips. He may even arrange to get it sharpend for you, alternatively if money's not an issue you can lash out and get one of those electric sharpeners which are great too.

I use a Pocket PC type GPS for the car which has most of the well known tracks and roads in State Forests, National Parks etc. When I'm hunting I use the etrex Camo, I bought it on the U.S Ebay site a couple of years ago for $100U.S It drops out often in heavily timbered areas though, I've been thinking of using the Pocket PC now I have a BluTooth Antenna for it as it actually shows the area and tracks around you in most cases. I just have to work out how to mark specific points on it.

I've read the same and found when I hunt deer it is more important to me to wear cumfortable and quiet clothing more so than the Camo gear. If I buy gear it's normally 2nd hand from Aussie Disposals, I find them quieter to move around in and don't feel as stiff as new gear.

If money is an issue, try this page: http://www.crankyfarmer.com/bipods.html I have dealt with Mark many times and is always reliable.

Cabelas and CrankyFarmer have quite a few different ones available and some at very resonable prices.

Hi Im always telling my brother that his bipod (harris)is too noisey in the field, I have seen it spook a couple of bunnies and foxes at times due to the noisey spring and metal parts. Now this may only be his one that is like this as I haven't been out with anyone else with a harris. With this in mind I bought myself a Caldwell which I find to be very quiet when opening it and setting it up in the field.

Hi guys, The Laser Bore-Sighter tested better than I had expected. The .243 was shooting spot on target but then again it has always, when I set it up with the bore sighter there was no adjustment needed. I was very impressed with the 300wsm as I took the Scope off and re-mounted it then sighted it in with the Boresighter. Due to the heavy rain today I was only able to save one of the targets I used with for the 300wsm the rest tore or fell apart when I removed them. Well after a day of testing the .243, 7.62x54R & 300wsm which all were able to group within 3 inches of the bullseye at 120Mtrs straight from being Boresighted I would definately reccomend the Laser Bore Sighting kit. The target below was the first group I fired with the 300wsm:

Hi, I have 2 old Fridges under my pergola that I took the shleves out of and placed a Rail at the Top for Hanging hooks on and a Stainless oven tray to catch the blood. I've used them many times for Sheep, Fallow, Sambar and Goats. I normally get 1 Large Fallow Quartered up and hang it normally for 3 days, I only turn them on when I need to use them and find them easy to clean as well when your finished. Some Fridges(without an internal freezer) allow you to keep the Top Shelf in so you can even use that to hang your hooks on, you can normally get a 2nd hand stand alone Fridge for around $50 or look out for one at Hard Rubbish Time in your area.
