It seems this story needs a little filling -
It was a dark and rainy Friday morning when Rushy arrived 3/4 hour early for the trip down from Auckland. Joining us in the vehicle was my son, hoping to double his deer tally to 2 after his last trip.
We met up with the other 3 member of the crew - Mohawk660, Jeff and Sef at the rendezvous spot as the rain stopped and headed off for the block.
We set up shop in the house and after a meal of B&E pie we split into groups hoping to make the most of the afternoon before the rain came back.
It was a successful day, with Rushy laying waste to the goat population and Jeff achieving the near impossible of taking out a mob of 5 fallow and then a pig that came out to see what all the fuss was about.
Saturday was "Wet" but everyone got back out there as there was work to do. Pigs, goats and deer continue to fall and lunch arrived and the eggs . . .
Now there are 2 ways to serve eggs - cooked and uncooked, I like mine cooked and hard, its not a matter of whether they are runny or not that's purely preference, unfortunately some cooks are challenged by this and on the table was a plate of sunny side eggs with a translucent layer on the white indicating that they were not cooked! The chef received a severe reprimand and demoted settling the matter.
Sunday dawned cloudy but dry, a quick sortie resulted in a few more animals and them a long morning on the knives getting the meat ready to travel home.
A good trip was had by all but I would just like to add that the Chef failed to shoot a deer![]()
