big thanks for that @veitnamcam I will have to buy you a beer if I ever get down that way or if you ever come up here. Just be warned his mum and stepfather may want to meet you before taking him out.

Thats the only problem

I would say once your mum and stepfather are reassured that everything will be ok I can't see why they would not let you go as this would be a really good confidence builder for you and also gets you away from the house and out into nature plus it will help keep your fitness up for soccer. Next time you come up I will have to try and organise a trip to Taupo for a sika hunt so you can hear what they sound like when you spook them.

that would be nice but you know mum, she's stubborn

Yeah I know she can be bloody stubborn mate I was married to her long enough and she used to try and keep me pinned under her thumb too. You never know mate if she can see that you are passionate about being out in the bush which is somewhere she can not go due to her physical limitations and that people are willing to teach you how to be safe and how to put food on the table she may see it in a different light, I (and members here) would rather encourage you to enjoy the outdoors than discourage it. If you get her to meet members from here then she may ease up failing that hit plan B and tell her you want to come up here that may change her tune

What I do James is google different areas and if there is any info I will read up on it plus look at the google earth image of that area and look for things like streams and clearings
