Hi All, my name is Jackson a New Zealand hunter that is looking to travel to Europe and do some hunting preferably back country/alpine. I am hoping someone migh

For me a lot of it ends up in the cooler, but honestly I don't use nearly all of it. I'd like to do more with it — does anyone have a good recipe or a tried-and

I'm decent up close but I know I'm missing animals further out on open ground. If you hunt more open terrain, what's actually helped — technique, gear, patience

I've only really navigated the Dutch system properly, but I know plenty of you hunt across borders. Curious what surprised you most moving between countries — p

I've worn through more pairs than I'd like to admit — great for the first few months, and then the waterproofing gives up right when the weather turns. What's s

I've personally been dreaming of a stalk for red deer in Scotland for years, but it never quite happens. What's at the top of your list, and what's been holding

Not necessarily the biggest trophy or the perfect shot — sometimes it's the cold morning that turned into a good story, or the hunt that went completely sideway

Everyone has a different story — growing up with a father who hunted, a friend who took you on your first driven hunt, or just curiosity that got out of hand. I

Last month I had a genuinely impressive boar on camera that I'd never seen before, right in broad daylight. Show us your finds, I'm curious what's been passing

I keep getting asked about this, so let's collect it here. What do you wish you'd known before you started studying? And which part did you personally find hard

I keep going back and forth on this one. A bolt gives you that deliberate, one-shot-counts feel, but on a fast driven hunt with boar breaking cover, a quick fol

Doesn't have to be the most exotic one — sometimes the best trips are the simplest, with the right people and the right weather. Tell us where, and what made it

It happens to everyone eventually, no matter how experienced you are. I'm curious how you handle it — practically (tracking, dog, taking your time) as much as m

I hear strong opinions on both sides, and I don't think either is automatically more or less ethical, but I know plenty of you have a clear preference. What's y
