I got a happy pooch now as she found a good 90 pound boar for me. Gore maccas for lunch then the drive home
Out for a wander in the Kaimais tomorrow. First walk since I fucked my knee. Probably be dragging my arse up the hill, but I can't farking wait to get back out there......
Had a day up the valley with a mate and the dogs. I was a bit heavy footed and missed two opportunities but the other team saw a few and picked up a stag. Good day out.

I'm out every weekend on the ranch but the bush will have to wait again:)
I'll be out in the morning when all have returned to work and other duties.
Showed up at carpark, one truck there (manuka homes or something) start walking them2km to doc land wind blowing up my arse. Follow riverbed up and hear two shots... O well I'm here now. Get up to the slip I want cover for the evening all set up for 200m+ jut about to take coffee bag out of my first culpa when a few rocks fall down the hill behind me... Have a wee look through the scrub andtherebilly goat gruff 20m away, swing the rifle round and a 150gn sst through the neck. Go up and start boning him out for the dogs and a wee nanny show up so she got the same treatment and will be going into roasts. No redskins seen though :oh noes:
And then to top it off on the walk out going down tricky rocks that roll under you I lost my footing and the rifle slipped off the shoulder straight into the drink... Gave the dpt a good rinse out! Suspect the scope got a good whack in the process, grrr
Climbed a hill for 2 hrs on Sunday up to snow level, sat in the snow and tryed to glass some deer on the other side of the valley, couple stags and several hinds then the snow settled in and i retreated back down for safety.
2hrs up 11 reds and a cham seen, great for a new spot to me.
a little too far for the 300 Blackout me thinks as these from my walk on Sunday... LOL!! Oh yeah and the wrong side of the fence Ha Ha... backing onto the Public land, but so great to see them like me out in the sunshine... drying out after a wet morning....
Man @Scouser those storms coming through the CNI have knocked quite a few trees and branches all across the tracks.

Now interesting in that this paddock had what looked like a deer trap where the public land that backs onto this paddock comes in higher up on the hillside and there's a entry spot for the fence that they could jump down to see their mates but not get back out again as its a 2m with a back lip to get back to the bush.
There were tracks (public land side of the fence where) a couple of stags and hinds it looked like had walked along the remainder of the fence line around this spot. Is this still a common method used to trap the deer from Public land these days?? Looks like it had been there quite a awhile and seen some use over the years. There was a section of about 15m of deer fence further along the fenceline that looked like it could be rolled back (to let any out they didn't want to keep I guess) I'll take some pics next time I'm there, looked quite a good set up..
Yup thats pretty much it, and when we popped in here last time (a few months back) they had the boys roaring in a smaller paddock at the bottom of this one - very clever I thought and appreciated that went into the thought process behind it. There distinctly looked like a few different groups in the paddock and lack of any eartags.
So are these (given lack of eartag's) likely to be most likely to be prior to any testing and building up herd? or for stocking game parks for overseas visitors to shoot? @ Rushy will prob know and @Packhorse knows the farm its on... given the large Radio repeater mast at the top of the hill and seeing a few of his photo's in the past.
Bloke I know just uses it to catch a few for the pot, they did have big problems with deer in the past and it was used quite a lot but now they even close it sometimes to leave them out on the hill, sows a patch of crop in a direct line of sight from the spur and the buggers cant help themselves
Had a great winter tramp with my family and my brother and his daughter.
No venison or antlers from our trip the kid's adventures, smiles, laughter and damn silly faces were our rewards...

On the trail, a five hour walk didn't produce any whines or moans from the kids and only a couple from the adults.

Carpe Diem they are good for capture but if they don't have access to move into larger fenced areas to relax for a couple of months they go up, over or through fences. In my teens we used to hang around an uncles farm down national park, broke a few deers necks by pressuring them that way in the trap. Oh and use a heading dog, huntaways just push them through fences :D makes a right mess
Enough deer talk. I'm off Pokémon hunting
Im hunting carrots with a pommy dwarf friday if the forcast doesnt worsen.
