    Brief report

    Left home home early and met up with a mate along the way. Got into his 4x4 and drove of. Reached our inteded location before light and waited a while before we could start glasing. The weather has been pissing all week and was the same on Sunday. The forecast was for occassional showers during the morning developing into rain for the later afternoon. We hoped for some sunshine but instead the fog covered the area being blow in and out.

    The clearings looked very very appealing to where there should be deer however due to the freezing temp up where we were and the continious pissing down we waited and glassed instead of heading into bush stalking.

    No deer seen and it started pouring heavily and we called it the day with plans re-scheduled for the first sunny day this week.. Very sure that the 1st gud sunshine would get them out onto those clearings for a early morning feed as the area has been noted to have a high number of deer around that location.

    Sunday came to an end with my list still with a tally of big zero and @Dundee 's knife fairly safe with him for ever... hahahhaha just kiding..

    Left a note back there for the deer "watch out" am coming back to get you..

    No luck for me either, Initiaz. I went into the Tararuas yesterday but it was too cold and wet to stay for long. Saw lots of prints and some promising spots for next time, though.
