Rob Dexter
Rob is a private hunter of the highest degree. He has joined the Test Team though repeated hunting all over the world and returning valuable feed-back with meticulous detail.
He was introduced to the outdoors at a very young age. Coming from a hunting family, he spent his early childhood hunting anything and everything from the time he was out of nappies. His mum says that worms were the starting point of a lifelong hunting addiction. Hunting took up every weekend and many a summer evening during the teenage years with school holidays spent on farms around the north and central north island. The local opossums and rabbits certainly suffered substantially during those years.
Pig hunting with dogs and Deerstalking became the mainstays as he got older with increasing pressure from overseas friends to change from the rifle to the bow. This change was effected when he got his first “bow’d “deer. The adrenaline rush of it had him hooked and the rifle definitely took a back seat after that.
In the 12 years he has hunted with the bow, he has hunted everything from birds to moose with a success level he would not have thought possible during the rifle years.
Rob has a bit of a bull at a gate personality and tends to take the shortcuts through the rough stuff so is very hard on gear. His stated preference for the versatile and resilient Stoney Creek range of outdoor clothing and accessories is based on giving it a hammering. As Rob puts it, “It is a thinking hunter’s choice. Good features, good camo patterns, good designs, good base material.” |
