Thread: Who's going DEEP on Thursday?

It was not really my intention to try to be back in on day-1, but the weather was forecast to be perfect at my favourite part of the Ruahine FP, and as it turned out it was. On the road a 2:20AM, walking at 5AM, and on location at sunrise. A stag was giving short, rather unenthusiastic roars about 400m away. Then 25 metres away from me a small six wandered out, and it too began giving quiet moans in response. The young hind it was following flushed back in my direction at the shot and will make for better eating. So still a bit of late-season action happening and the early bird catches the worm an' all. I did hear one other vehicle arrive after I had left the roadend, but there were no other shots all day, so I would say it was a pretty quiet first day out of lock-down in my neck of the woods.
