Hi guys
Kaweka-K, lots of sign down the stream you suggested....but 1 hour into the hunt Monday am 15 mins off Clements road bout half way between the Mill & Army Road...good breeze on the face a really good stag (only he saw him from the neck back and no time to throw some lead,) goes left away and puts a good tree between us, the girls, two good hinds and two yearlings go right...one yearling hind in a stand of small trees 35 metres away and eyeballs me .....I dont move she dont move...a stockstill stare out for five minutes....she lowers her head at last, I bring the firestick very slowly up but nearly at the shoulder...realises its not going end well and heads off.....BUGGA....the stag was meantime was going ballistic from behind his tree!!!! I stalked him moving away for 20 mins but headed for some shit windfall that I couldnt get thru quietly...so thats the excitement for my trip....the grandson chased a few down but no luck....oh well next time...plenty of sign for easter tho' good luck guys....70 permits already issued according to DOC...
