Thread: The birthday rifle

Nathan, you are doing a fantastic job of raising/ teaching your son about hunting and the outdoors. It’s working well keep doing it. Full kudos to you.

Nice work Team Southland.
@Black Rabbit I’d say he used that saw against the tree to do it, like how we cut up sheep on the farm.

@Nathan F Oh, I missed that saw from the picture. Good place, good hunt, good deer...thanks for sharing.

Well done.

Awesome trip report and photos......well done both of you

Thanks for an great report and inspiration. The best kind of education. My young fella ( similar age ) has been after my winny featherweight in 243.
Soon enough it'll be his.

I wish you were my dad! What an introduction to hunting for a young fulla! Top notch.
You shot as many deer in one trip as I've seen in the bush in my whole (2 year) hunting career!

Well done team,living the dream.

What an awesome write up you are a great Dad showing him all the highs and lows of hunting.
Great to see him doing the hard yards

Awesome hunt well done! Interesting that the deer were not spooked by the smoke from your fire .

And that's a sign of a man that's perfectly at home in the bush and knows his stuff. Young Charlie has a good mentor

Ha thx rod. I don’t read much into the smoke thing. Three weeks ago I had the fire roaring at lunchtime. Lots of green wood and smoke. I thought I’d poke my head out onto the clearing 50 meters away for a look with the Binos and there was a hind out feeding. Had to sneak back and get the rifle

Used to happen all the time in the Urewera's on hut clearings
