Lets start.... Yes I have a lovely partner (Lady) And do generally like the fairer sex apart from 1 week amonth when I try and make myself scarce!!!

My partner loves the water and asked me to teach her how to dive and tag along, whislest I enjoy doing things with my partner I like doing things on my own or with only my male mates..... So the deal was yes I will teach you to dive but theres is no way your coming on a boys trip or am I spending all my ive trips with u....

Have u seen how long it takes a women to get a dive suit on ??????!!!!!!!

Anyway I digress, on the way home from Oamaru hut with no sucess I thought I would drop into the Taupo ADULT SHOP ( hunting and fishing) not the other type of adult shop.

I was shooting the shit with one of the lads from H&F when a young fella (19- 22 yrs young)walks in proud as punch with his lady on his arm and a a fist fill of wedge (Cash) and proceeds to buy himself a brand spanking new rifle. The guy from H&F told me the young fella had got his misses into shooting and was going to take her hunting in the bush so she would inherit his old rifle.

At this point we both looked at each other and laughed out tits off!!!

This poor lad had clearly not thought this thru!!!! I couldnt imagine anything worse that taking my misses into the bush god bless her.

She would bitch and moan about the heavy pack, or that she had broken a nail , let alone get blood on her hands while gutting out an animal.

Argh bugger it good luck young fella you will need it!!!

Now before I finsih , hunting for me is not all about shoot shit whilst I enjoy some game meat as much as the next bloke . I am realistic to realise that not everytime you will go for a hunt will I get lucky. And just enjoy going hunting with mates with a similar bond getting out of the house roughing it a bit and getting a way from the misses.

Women and hunting for me no thanks!!! 3-4 days in the bush with my misses NO F&*king WAY!!!!!!!! Your thoughts???

I will now sit on the couch ,coffee in hand and let the entertainment unfold.

Oh dear 'Mohawk' statements like this are bound to see you go 'shagless' for long periods of your life. Especially if you truly hold the attitude that goes with this statement.

Before we were married my Wife used to come up as often as possible to the Hunting block as she could manage. We were packing the deer out on horses then. She loved the horse work and was bloody handy bringing the horses along the bush edge to pick up the deer and take them out while we carried on hunting.

We got married and within a fortnight we were back up there living in a hut back to the old game using the horses and bringing out lots of deer. They were the golden days when venison rose in a year from 28cents a pound to over a dollar. During the winter we trapped. The only time I ever had to tack out a skin was when we got a bit overloaded during long fine spells. She could tack out 20 skins an hour and make a much neater job than I could and brush them up so they shined. Not only that she would run her own small trapline as well. Because we were a good team we made money, lots and lots of money. Living the way we did was cheaper so we saved our money and life now is sweet

We kept this sort of life up until our first child needed schooling and then moved to Taupo and got involved in the aerial recovery game.

Dont get the idea that I am describing some sort of 'bush pig" here, a description I have heard used by some people

My Wife was and remains one of the most attractive woman ever to come out Waikato.

We still spend time up in the hills and run the odd trapline...next summer we plan on visiting many of the huts we have know in the Ruahines. The old girl is as excited as hell.
