With people dropping out of the forum hunt left right and centre, Rushy proposed we go to his roost as a plan B and chase after reds in minginui/whirinaki. And what a choice it was, I never thought you could be so spoilt for comfort or eating on a hunt but i never been more wrong. He definitely has his shit together when it comes to setting up a camp and cooking a good feed. The hunting wasn't easy but we gave it our all and came close a few times but no cigar. The morning of the second hunt myself phillipgr and deadisbetter were walking down a old logging track when we stopped to check out a game trail when we notices steam rising up from a small clearing in the on the opposite side of the track, after we stopped and listened for a while we had a pretty fair idea there was a dear not ten meters away from us behind this large dead fall, sneaking around /over these trees was impossible without making a racket resulting in us hearing the dear crunch off through the bush. I decided to crawl under and dig through the fallen trees in an attempt to stalk it if it hadnt taken off too far leaving my rifle as it had a round stuck in the tube and was a bit too close for comfort, only to emerge on the opposite side to see a spiker standing there looking at me only to run away again before phillipgr could chuck my gun over, followed his sign for a little while only to see his arse as he popped up and over a hill in the distance. All in all turned out to be good trip with a good bunch of blokes, hunting hard, sinking some piss, eating great and talking shit around the fireplace.
