We only raised hinds and a year or two later we went out to the deer farm to see them all. Hell they were funny they had never forgotten their mother. Crowding around her standing on their back legs sniffing her hair and vying for attention.

Thanks 'Gibo' I will tell her you said that, she will be pleased. She was/is an attractive woman, useful too. She could tack out twenty skins an hour and make a better job than any man I knew. Good with horses to, she worked the pack horses while I shot.

Sounds like the perfect woman Scribe. Good stuff

Talk about a keeper @Scribe. Sounds like you two were a team to rival Bonnie and Clyde

Yes we were a team alright 'phillipgr' Julie was just seventeen when I first took her up to Ruahine Corner for a couple days. God that appears young now.

I tell you when my own daughters were that age and someone suggested taking them up to the Plateau for a couple of days they would have got a short shift.

We shared many a dram and story in those myriad of sheltered bays in Pelorous and Queen Charlotte where we would all anchor in a line pull back and run stern line to a tree. During the evening we would pull the yachts together for a party and then let them part buy tightening the stern line. Could have sat out a hurricane without discomfort.

Well before my time unfortunately. My grandfather knew David well and hunted fiordland in Caswell sound for wapiti with Percy.

Mostly Lab/Heeler something. Good company but noisy.
