    The hardest thing....

    The last pull after a 30K mission in the rain yesterday




    Did a Kaimai mission yesterday Clay road via Waipapa road hoping to tip something over that was enjoying dressing with it's salad after some precepation yesterday.








    Steady drizzle low cloud.





    Plenty of pig sign, sparse red....



    Found an interesting Scarab bettle









    All in all great preseason training

    Pretty sure that's the same place I went with my uncle. Pretty cool area way different to the hunting around here.

    Thirty K is certainly a decent slog. I would have eaten the bug.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Bugger Me!

    30k.

    You must have walked past all the deer.

    A big day for me is a 5-8km walk.

    Cheers

    30 k in that weather is punishing. Would have been to wet for the deer. They would have been having a nap under a nice dry punga

    30k is a pretty big day, I'd say you earned the nap on the couch!

    Majority of distance old logging roads pre 1970's day pack usual items - 15K in and out the same way, bush lawyer, gorse, blackberry & regenerating scrub sound nice well it isn't.
    Area know as Whakamarama Plateau great views on a nice day of the Western Bay. I hunt the hot spot's clearing's etc. minimal sign move onto the next area local knowledge needed.
