    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.

    Been out to a couple of wallows on Sunday to put up the trail cam. They where a bit dry but ploughed up, some good size prints. Hopefully this cold and rain stays and turns things on soon.

    I never had a chance to go down to him. Finances ran a bit low since Dec.

    Recon day today up behind Taupo, DOC land. Some good sign in a very shitty gully, not far from a stream. Was trying to find a spot I had a chance at a very good Sika stag 10 yers ago. havent been to the spot since and the area has grown over big time.( before GPS units were readily available) Very fresh large Sika stag droppings, supa fresh and a couple of different sized hind droppings close by. Bit early yet but he might be in the hard as something had recently stripped the bark from a small tree.The hard part will be to get to the spot in the roar without alerting him.
