Thread: To catch a hare

You gotta laugh alright.I have done the fencing on mangaohane since john N and graeme S finished.
Graeme and his brother still come and hunt mangaohane a couple of times a year and usually stay at the old but comfy Smythes hut.
Its always great to call in and have cuppa or beer and listen to the stories when going past on the way to and from the fence lines.
John N's ashes are spread under a totora by the hut with a poem done on a plaque in the hut in remeberance.
The lads make sure they get their fill of venison for the trip home to last till the next trip
That high country is some of the most beautiful places that i have worked with some fencing been done at 3800 feet it is good summer work,
The good news is we are heading out there this spring to build a set of sattelite yards so looking forward to a bit of 6.5 carnage after hours
As a by line there are still a lot of hares out the back which we use for a bit of long range verification!

Amazes me just how many people I know on this forum 'andy'

We will be back down in that country again when the snow has flown. Come up and see us and we will throw up a tent and have a session with a few yarns and all.... I am always looking for Barry Crump type characters for my new book.

Yep all good,supposed to be heading up there in the last couple of weeks with my mate who owns the land over the fence. but get in touch when coming down and will come out for the night and we can tell some lies as old fences tend to do!

Yes I used to know Wayne N quite well...I wonder if that is his son in the olympic team.
