Thread: Venison meat hunting in NZ in the past

A bit of history. 2 neck shot for the chiller with what was one of the first 7-08's in the country.
Steve Blenkarne imported a reamer and this was one of the first turned out. I put it on a Tikka M55. In the Waewaepa.
I carried them whole over 2 trips. About 1.75 hrs there and back for each one.



This is a mate and I with the old trapper nelson packs and a slasher on board. We were forever clearing tracks and making new access. In the Pari (Ruahines).



Me as a lad in the Kaimanawas on Middle Range. We carried HQ's from out of there. Eventually they stopped that and you could only trade whole carcasses.
