    Fantastic photo's. You lot in the South Island all look the same to me.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    What gods do I need to pray to for that same weather in a couple weeks time? That certainly looked awesome.

    Its a EDIII fieldscope. 20-60 x 60. For the cost I reckon they are hard to beat. Really nice glass, and as you say, compact & relatively light. I got it from www.cameralandny.com

    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

    Great trip and great report. We were hunting on the block next door to the north and also came out yesterday ahead of the rain.
    Save our Tahr. They belong in the southern alps.

    We had a great trip and saw plenty of bulls and nanny's about right through both the upper and lower ends of the block. We shot a 12 1/4" and a 12 1/2 and saw others in the 12 inch class but left them to either grow on or for some other hunters to have the opportunity.
    Saw some bulls up in some very high inacessable peaks that wouldnt probably be shootable unless a big snow fall pushes them off the tops.
