Thread: Forgotten Highway

@Barry the hunter I nearly hit a fallow spiker when it shot across the road just in front of the car, just on dark out there last year. Not much fun hitting the brakes on a gravel road! It very nearly became a hood ornament! And I very nearly had a badly damaged car! I only missed it by inches

I took this pic just off the State Highway about 15-ish years ago.... There were 28 (that I could count) in the mob

Without being too specific, roughly where was that pic taken, @bumblefoot?

I was under the impression that the deer population in that part of the country is a relatively recent phenomenon? Certainly didn't see any when kicking around the likes of Aotuhia, Moeroa/Omoana, Waitotara in the 1970's.

very different now Aotuhia scattered pop and low numbers but those other areas heaps especially Waitotara some of Waitotara just to high

@Maxx In respect to the landowner, that's about as specific as I'd like to be. Cheers
