Thread: New Equipment needed for hunting Thar in Twizel

A friend of mine got a phone call from his kids while on holiday in Twizel earlyer this month
the message was

DAD the dog (a 5 monthy old pup) has just put up a Thar behind the crib

After he hung up he jumped back in the car 5 minutes away from the crib he was in Twizel doing shopping
speed home to find the bloke from down the road had shot home for his rifle after a long story the thar had swam over to an island in a pond and was shot with a 223 it stumbled into the water again and died half way to the shore this was on dark
the thar sank to the bottom
The bloke from next door again shot home and came back with his scuber gear after doning his wet suit mask tanks and flipers he entered the pond and retreved the animal
It was found to be a young bull who had a very unlucky day

So if you are looking to go Thar hunting around Twizel just remember to take you dive gear with you
