Brian will know and will put us right when he comes along.

Nice looking spring grass they were enjoying
@Sarvo I had stopped at a brother-in-law's place in Masterton on the way home and then bumped into a neighbour when I got out of the ute at home so by the time I got to my gate all that was left was the Fallow :) All of the Red had been given away during the 2.5 hour drive.Quote:

There was a playing card sized piece of shoulder blade found at least 10m clear of the bang, flop, roll path. The front half of the deer was pretty much mince.Quote:

You worry too much. Its an old American Trapper design. Much the same as our old Green River skinners...and our farmers and shepherds all seem to still have most of their digits :)Quote:
