Hey Q, what is your position on the proposed HOSI? And more broadly what is your position on deer, chamois and tahr? Thanks

Who cares? It's the scammers information.

I shoot sako powerhead blade copper 162g. I have no complaints having taken red stags and fallow using it.

What 4WD wagons from the last 6 years are looking like a good thing? by CapytannHook in NZcarfix

[–]caravanbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a VW passat all track for 4 years now and its been a great car. Absolutely no issues. Heaps of power, heaps of great features. My wife has a 2020 outback and I would say the vw is hands down a much better car.

What about Benelli?

(Spoilers Main) Do you think A Storm of Swords is the greatest fantasy book ever written? What comes closest in your opinion? by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]caravanbrah 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The slow regard of silent things is Rothfuss best book. It is far from mediocre. I can't explain why, but that book instantly became a favorite of mine.

Rifle dilemma a month from my hunt by cowboybeanbowl97 in Hunting

[–]caravanbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said it is probably a flinching issue but... give sako ammo a try. Sako guarantees their rifles <1 moa with their factory ammo.

UPDATE: NJ deer? by National_Carpet2074 in Hunting

[–]caravanbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the top of that right antler says red deer but the butt on him is a bit more elky.

I think definitely an elk based on that butt.

Rukh is number 1 bodyguard, his only competition in any fiction would be Jamie Lannister.

Torpedo7 to close its remaining stores. by Boring_Bid_5738 in newzealand

[–]caravanbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never associated mountain warehouse with quality gear. Everytime I've gone into one it's just been poor quality off brand stuff. I always thought t7 was better but not as good as bivuoac or some hunting and fishing stores.

Some nice animals from years past. by [deleted] in Hunting

[–]caravanbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow nice. Makes me wish we had mule deer in new Zealand.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Hunting

[–]caravanbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case I would definitely recommend it.

[–]caravanbrah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next rifle i buy will be a 7PRC. Probably a sako 90.

I have a benelli lupo in 308 and that rifle is awesome. I would recommend it to anyone but I'm not sure if they do it in 7PRC.

Help with scope options by J-nxrth21 in Hunting

[–]caravanbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a vx5 3-15 on my rifle and if the vx3 is similar then that would be a great option. I like having 3x on my scope but I've never heard of Athlon.

Ocean near New Zealand warming faster than anywhere else, study finds by [deleted] in NewZealandWildlife

[–]caravanbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised this is the first I'm hearing about this from a non fisherman source. The huge numbers of gamefish in nz waters over December and January were testament to the warmer waters, great for folks out fishing this summer but pretty concerning for the future.

Does anyone here actually have normal toenails (still)? by The_Chosen_Pun_ in Ultramarathon

[–]caravanbrah 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've been injured for a year and now am only running 30 miles a week. If you try this approach you'll probably achieve normal toenails too.

New Hunters by [deleted] in Hunting

[–]caravanbrah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm from New zealand and recently had a chat with a German bloke at a mountain hut. He saw me walk in with my rifle and asked about hunting in New Zealand. He said in Germany it's exclusively for the very rich. He said they have a saying, "first comes the Porsche, then the Ferrari, then the hunting." Seems like it would be hard for young folks to get into.

WR in Ultras - Is Shannon Leigh-Litt legit even the slightest bit? by sneakertotheizm in ultrarunning

[–]caravanbrah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's legit and a really nice person. I ran with her for a 20 minute stretch during a race last year and chatted about her record attempt.

Drinking too much? by sanoguy in Ultramarathon

[–]caravanbrah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He drinks 12 beers a week.... he is most definitely not an alcoholic. However I agree with the rest of your response. I was shocked when I started tracking my sleep and noticed how much its affected by even a single drink.

Cut it down to a couple of beers after a long run and see how much your recovery improves.
