Thread: Acouple of days in Kaimanawa's

Felt like I needed a break for a couple of days to recharge the batteries & just get in a some hunting.
Checking some new country so headed for a popular spot in the Kaimanawa's armed with some new knowledge
and a couple of pieces of gear I was itching to try out.Also getting a better understanding of this GPS . Seems
to work a lot better with lithium batteries too as per manufacturers recommendations.
Home for the weekend


The battle truck

Some nice open bush






A lot of this ,it was just every where & I haven't seen sign like this for a long time





Spring growth still appears a little way off but plan to be back in a few weeks.No meat to bring home
this trip but meet some nice people & found myself a new spot-X which seem like a gem at the moment.
Here's 1 for Rushy, some protein for dinner .Didn't taste too bad after a hard day on the hill.

Dam it was a cold place to be ,but with better gear now was so glade I was there.The wind coming SE
all weekend with Scotch miss showers threatening to turn to snow for 3 days was nice to be liberated at 8pm
Sunday & head back north to some warmer weather.

In the right spot then:thumbup:
Look forward to the update

looks like a great spot for a but of bush bashing

So that's what Sika poo looks like. I would have seen it and thought possum straight away.

Lithium batterys are worth the extra $ as I've had some in my GPS, and worked out I've had it on for 5 full days hunting and still full battery.

Bit small for possum & too much of it . Sure get more hours out of lithium the Magellan eats every thing else.2 or 3 days from a pair of batteries is actually more cost effective I think @ $4 per .

So that's what open bush looks like.

Nice to see you had a break from your duties Chris. Did Shadow go?

He's part of the team Mr Dundee,couldn't leave him home.

That was exactly what I thought when seeing the pics.

Looks like a cool spot Chris, good shit

Good stuff mate, being out there is what its all about!

Nice spot that

Thanks for the write up. Usually sign everywhere but you scratch your head wondering where the buggers go at times

Always good to get out and about! Looks like a good spot

Well done Chris and the family dish for dinner. Man after me own heart.

Those snapper wings go alright on the BBQ too Rushy ,will stash a few in freezer for next forum outing .

Nice little spot , learning where these sneaky buggers like to live now.
