Thanks DAF, I wish Scribe coulda' been here to read it. I enjoy writing for you guys and yeah haha, it's not exactly hard though. I'm tipping the scales at 60kilo at the moment, the boys reckoned this was 85 or so.

Also - I had to grin this morning. The flatmate's put their dinner meat on the bench to defrost today. 200g of pork, $6.19! I thunked a frozen goat leg next to them. No price tag.

Lol, even 100m from the ute

I had heard you north islanders weren't the brightest of sparks

Now now Kiwigreg I suspect that is a derogatory expression used to describe someone who is not very smart. Fact is we are smart because we are not so interbred it is just that we struggle with bringing all of the sandwiches to the picnic.

I like those Australian pig hunting videos that come and film over here and think we are nuts for 1.Carrying animals and 2. Hunting more than 50m on foot!

Nice report mate, sound like you had a ball and learnt lots. Good on the fellas for taking you out too...!

So I heard correctly, even if you can get a vehicle to 100m or less away after the fact, you will still cut it up

We bring the samber home whole because you can get the bike close to them but most others are a bit of a walk

I guess I should have worded it that we are never that close to the ute

but then I guess I take the odd one whole...when the quad gets right to the deer

I have a game cart that will cope with up to 300lb to recover mine.Its an American idea & being a north islander I can't take the credit for it.

Nice
