    Good work mate - we struggled on the tops couple weeks back also only seeing one over 2 days. Looks like it was a good trip

    Well done. Green with envy.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Ha ha ha ha not a shit show in hell. Nor bunny's either. That namby pamby shit is the exclusive domain of people like my father in law. He doesn't agree with any of us having firearms either.

    That's a lot of walking and climbing.

    How do you rate the new Sako? Have you had other models or is this your first?

    Nothing better than the hard slog paying off!!

    Well done, love the Kaimanawa's, still waiting to bag my first one there. Spent my first roar in there last year and spooked a hybrid
