Only want to shoot on the family farm so not wanting to go anywhere really.
Been waiting since end of last year after completing all the required documents/interviews/course. Patience is a virtue or so im told !

At least your practicing your stalking skills with the air rifle.

I drove from Christchurch to Greymouth and back on Wednesday didn’t even see a cop on the way, would have thought there would be one in the pass stopping people.

You would eh. I know someone that went over for an op at the hospital on Thursday. Coming back today. Didn't get stopped on way over but his sister who drove him over did on way back. They had to get essential travel forms from hospital as well.
Think yesterday they put a proper checkpoint in somewhere.

It took my dad a lot of courage to ask me not to come home for tangi... he knows how close we were..... I would have had to have 2 weeks of quarantine,plus he felt people might not show up due to me getting off the airplane and going straight to the tangi.... fair enough....it would have been selfish,.... my brother would have called me a COCK as well....... still,it plays on my mind to this day

Holed up????,,.... considered front line and still flying,no international,consider myself very lucky and not sure how long it will last...... after reading and hearing from mates at AIRNZ,and others ,I have no right to complain about anything ...... our loads are generally 2% of the available seats ,if that.....it’s one thing to lockdown 5 million,another to lockdown 380 million...... the seams are starting to tear,and something will give.....

We all knew there would be fuckwits who will/would never comply,for various reasons,.... conspiracies, of real,never get me,..even ..fuckit!!
...... uncharted territory is always dangerous

Cops I've spoken to said they ain't wanting to stop drivers for checks as it's just more potential exposure for them.

Yip I’ll be there too!! What’s the bet that we will finally get a whole lot of rain or storm hits just as everyone is allowed out��

I only have one trip planned.... Home! which I do not expect to be for some months yet and after two weeks at a govt holiday camp.

And when I get home I will sit on the veranda... stare at the view and see how much Caol ila I can put away.

I’ve posted this photo in another thread before
But I’m going out for about 4 nights to try catch up on this fella
Then after that, fair bit of tahr hunting

@LBD you have superb taste. Good luck with your travels.

When I say I'm working, all we're doing is going in, and sitting surfing the net basically.

How come they don't qualify?

Booked a chopper optimistically for the 23rd

My mate(they're actually his mates) was telling me they don't, and I didn't ask. Another one was laid off, his work permit application hasn't been processed yet, yes he did things arse about face moving to NZ, but he only went to 3 interviews, and all 3 wanted him to start next day, they were so desperate to get staff, cash was no prob for them.

I've been walking with my pack each day for a couple of hours and that gives one a lot of time to think.

The trip concept I have in mind now after a bit of scheming is to do "pass throughs", starting on one side of a range and finishing on the other, hitching back to the truck. Pretty easy to start locally with the like of the Princhester, then maybe a trip out of the Ahururi, then if I can find some dumb bugger to tag along, one of the "great" passes next summer (the Copland or the like). I have to disclose that my name on the other forum is "Armed Tramper" - and there is a reason for that!
