Just getting out somewhere is my goal, will have plenty of time off but a health setback means fitness and funds will be zero.
Heres to a speedy recovery broQuote:

Nelson tops for 10 days with the boys late march, then home for a week to recoup then the Kaimanawas for 8 days with another mate from Taupo.
I've had some decent success with getting regular meat animals (more than me and the family can eat in a year - we give quite a bit away) but not great results with stags yet.
Would love to see a mature red or sika and have an oppurtunity at it (don't care as much about points etc).
Otherwise for the tops mission - goal is to glass up and explore as many valleys and basins (without rushing past country) and explore that awesome area, get some cool photos, footage etc, not get shot, not cut anyone elses lunch up there while hunting (tricky at that time of the year)
Fiordland Solo - 10 days up some dead end road…
Pulled a Haast period 2 but failed to find a team.
What block did you have?

My daughter wants some for her door but mum said no. Lol.
Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.
Get well soon mate. Keep up the pills & ointment as my old mate used to say.Quote:

Eglington just got the green rain on the 11/2/24
From the downs, walker creek up including east branch all the way almost the divide, also did to U pass. Massive area.
Yeah pretty gutted too. There goes my easy overnighter up Boyd or Cascade on way back from Milford visit. Wasn’t expecting much anyway as apparently choppered pretty hard.Quote:

My Arthur and the Cobb catchments getting the green rain too right at the start of the roar, timing is everything it seems. Talked to 3 people I know who are trapping as part of the friends of Flora group and stoat numbers are booming despite the ongoing trapping program for Whio protection.
Hahahaha already been there , good luck left a turd outside the hutQuote:

Hunting locally. Hear stags roar..roar back..shoot stags
Been chasing Sika for a few years now and been successful, so switching focus back to the reds and hopefully a Fallow Buck.
Great plan. KISS. Should do it more that way myself.Quote:

Next 18 months is probably a write off I reckon.
