    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire

    Oh, yeh righto then. Never got that far before opening my mouth, inserting my foot and chewing vigorously. Still Dundee is a former soldier so should know to check his kit before heading off. If you read. This Dundee then drop and give me twenty for that wee fuck up. Next time you will be confined to a kitchen full of vegetables.

    In my defence I was still carrying a mercator in my pocket.

    Decided to head back up into the Ruahine Ranges to see where all the water is coming from. No wonder the lowland rivers are in flood.

    Back up "Dry Creek" today had a stag roaring to the left of the waterfall but couldn't coax him down had to get off the hills for milking. I'll be back before the Easter madness in the Ruahines.

    Falconhell and I sidled this hill losing sweat from the ales we soaked up last night.Headed of track with sign plentiful.

    The vines and onga were getting thicker when we decided to head back down, falconhell caught his elbow on some that tickled him up a bit.Got back down into some easier terrain but the noise from the dry leaf litter was quite loud.

    Attachment 16783

    Back at the picnic area we took shelter from that big yellow ball in the sky and talked about our armed tramp,which way we should of gone and waited for @geezejonesy and PT to arrive.
    Attachment 16784

    We weren't talking quietly and having a few laughs.
    Attachment 16785

    We heard one shot earlier while we were near the tops so assuming @geezejonesy and PT were late because of success.

    I took this pic of the BBQ
    Attachment 16786
    When we heard the sound of a rock move below us so thought yep its them,but no there was silence so we armed ourselves again falconhell went one way I went the other when we met there was that familar sound of a deer crashing through the bush. Bugger not to be this time. The smell was strong it must of been drinking in the river.

    Back at the truck PT @geezejonesy arrive with no luck either so after 2hour armed tramp and none of us having fired a shot it was off to MacDonalds for brunch shouted by @geezejonesy.

    Thanks fullas we had a great weekend out there doing it.
    Remember when these were at campsites to use, taken out and now they wont let us use a bakewell burner.Attachment 16786
    Didnt hear of any fires started by using these.
    Thought I would read thread from start and the photo prompted me to comment.
