Thread: Pureora hunt and one blown foo foo valve

Awesome effort lads.
Fitness definitely plays a part and makes hunting easier. But it's not the end. My fitness isn't great. I prefer to amble along slowly always listening for that breaking stick or distant bird putting out the alarm call. I like to move slowly to avoid building up too much sweat or been out of breath so much that I can't hold the scope still. Sitting on my butt and listening (thats when i really miss smoking) soaking up the surrounds. When in a hot zone slowing right down.
You don't have to be too far from camp to do this as long as there is feed and fresh sign about. No point stomping through the bush to get to a place on the map you think looks good when the deer are already at your feet.

Looking forward to the next trip report
