    Quick Boyd Visit

    Few photos from a quick Boyd trip Brett and I completed early December. The fishing was good fun, albeit really challenging. Eight fish were released unharmed, apart from a bit of toothache.

    The deer were a little few and far between, with only 5 seen. I managed to tip one over at 450m about 830 on the second night. Although it immediately dropped at the shot, finding it in thick, tussocky scrub across 2 valleys proved tough without a dog.

    Weather was perfect the whole time. Enjoy.

    Pre-trip sight in at Taupo. The shot closest to the bull was with a cold barrel. Happy with that! Three shot group was about .5 inch. The 270WSM will hopefully do the trick down South on some tahr in January.
