Anything you can carry!

Great stuff @Shootm awesome photos!

Awesome pics mate!

Great pics. Alex said you guys had a great trip. Suspect some of these photos will get placings on judging night.

Interesting walking in and out with a large number of trampers around. Most were really good and foreigners were genuinely interested in our hunting adventures. We got rarked up by a couple of old boy trampers (think they were gay vegans) when we told them we'd only shot one deer for meat. Apparently hunters only have ourselves to blame for cullers being sent into cull deer (long time since this happned?) and 1080 being dropped to control numbers. And we are just whinging bastards who want all the access in the world to good hunting areas, but don't shoot the deer that are there, so basically are the cause of the deer problem in NZ, so we should be booted out of the backcountry for not "doing our job". I asked him why he thought trampers had more rights to the back country than us, sarcastically told him he was probably right about not shooting enough deer, then asked if he wanted some venison back steaks so I didn't have to carry them out of the valley and he told me to get F'd! Hahaha. F'n weirdos.

Funny as.
Would have been funny to share a hut with them just to rark them up.

Ha they probably need to a chance to catch there breath and that's why they talked to you for so long
I really don't get it your out enjoying your pass time there doing the same and well lets have a go love the back stakes comment though top man! I wonder if golfers get the same grief? You know wasteing water and land on perfectly good ground that deer could run around on
Next time remind them that it's stalkers and cullers that put in most of these tracks ah
