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.
