Thread: Manson hut

Just back from 3 days in the Kaimanawas, hunting valley sides around the 1200 meter mark.
The animals were coming out pretty much bang on 6pm, then spending 1-2 hours feeding their way down through the Monowai till they hit the pumice terraces, before hitting the tussock stream edges on dark. Unfortunately I couldn't creep any further forward without showing myself, and the pumice terraces were at 330m, so outside my range comfort. This morning I checked out the faces they were feeding on, and I'm fucked if I can see what is so nutritious there!!! Jeeze they can exist on bugger all.

All mobs seen were mums with yearlings at foot. Come December mum will kick them out of house and home and they will become tasty freezer fillers. But I will need to spend some time at the range getting comfortable with shooting out to 350m I think.
