    Nice walk this morning, Found some more waterfalls and had a deer bark at me half a dozen times, Loud and close - Couldn't see it, Tried finding it, Guessing it was a hind with a fawn hidden somwhere ? Then a helicopter hoverd over and that was the end of that.

    Yep Dundee bugger alright, Just like today too. Up at 4.30am, Headed to a different part of the kaimai where I havn't been yet. 20km hike, Pretty rugged where we ended up, Spooked 4, Got a look at one's arse as it gapped it. Heaps of sign, Be good for the roar there, To far for day trip's I feel.

    Found a nice Water fall/Swimming hole just for @Rusky haha.

    Short & Sweet. Well a good weekend away has been and gone.
    I was lucky enough to be able to tag along on a trip to Taupo with a guy I no.
    Headed down Saturday morning, Got to our camp site after lunch, Set up and then off for a arvo/evening hunt.
    The bush was very scrubby and dry, And the hunting was eaither up hill, down hill or across, Not much flat area around.
    Not long into it, Fresh sign was found and a Sika whistle was herd. Continuing on down a ridge to cross a stream, A small
    spiker came into view, The guy I was hunting with was in lead so he got the shot, Bang flop. Yeah Ha !
    I got to blood my knife and got a lesson in gutting a deer, Then got the job to carry it out

    Hunt 1 done. Had a feed, Talked shit, Few coffee's down then hit the hay.
    Up around 6am, Had a brew and a feed, Decided on where to hunt then on our way ...

    Hunt 2 consisted of a big walk, lot's of sign but no luck - Back to camp, pack up then headed home.
    Was an excellant time away, I didnt get to fire a shot but learnt a heap, And i got some venison for my efforts ! Top stuff.

    Well done BushHunter. That is a nice looking spiker. VC I will issue you a visa to get into the North Island if Dundee won't.
    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
