Thread: Crap Bivvy in the Bush

While it riles me when I come across a messy hunter camp, be it a possum deer or pig hunter camp, one has to remember that hunters have been building these camps for as long as we’ve been hunting in NZ. While it may piss you off to find a camp in the middle of nowhere, messy or not, just remember that if recently used the occupiers May not be too happy if they catch you dismantling/ vandalising it. Not that I’ve built one in years I have used them on the odd occasion. Just remember that until recently a lot of the camps on Stewart Island and elsewhere were exactly this style of camp, some messy as fuck and rodent infested. There’s modern huts at most of those sites now so obviously on good sites. As an aside some DOC huts I come across piss me off because of the state some trampers/hunters leave them in, a lot of them seem to be DB, Tui or Cody’s drinkers. Overall I’m a bit ambivalent about the semi-permanent hunter camp setup.
