    Many deer left in the Tauherinikau ?

    I haven't kept track of how frequent the drops have been in the valley or their effects, wondering whether I should take rifle as well as rod for a school holiday trip? Any local advice please?

    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    I left the rifle at home in the end - given that I had been assured that there were no deer.
    And the fishing: all the pools had at least one obvious fish, I didn't even bother looking into the faster water. Great weather over the past 2 days for sight fishing.

    Slip shooting gets underway in the SE Ruahines in another 4 weeks, somewhere much more in need of a reduction in deer numbers, so I'll take what I need from there.

    There will be about half a dozen less reds in Tauherinikau next week.
