Thread: Public land deer - 53 years ago.

I remember pack horses in the Urewwera's - they'd bugger the hillside tracks.
I remember one that had fallen in a hole and there were three blokes trying to dig it out, then five of us - and we couldn't get that horse out. The bloke shot it in the end ......... and that's another memory.
Two days later I walked into the wrong watershed and spent two days wondering where I was. Nearly got stepped on by a deer that shied when it realised I was there - moved sideways of the track after that and went back to sleep in my survival blanket.

Knew about the Caples - never got there.
