Sound'e like a good walk, just make sure the missus actually rubs salve on it not deep heat or similar just for a laugh at your expense.

We went out in the bay this morning and I got a lesson from my missus on how to catch 5 kingis in 15 minutes. while i caught nowght!!!

Farken sweet Mikee Keepers or rats?

Kept 1 at about 10Kgs, catch and release the rest smallest was still legal size so from 76 to 85cms in length. One of my other mates got 3 alberts yesterday out real wide.

You got any leave passes in credit. Gonna give it another shot next weekend.

Getting in early prep for the ballot cam? You will have to drag Adam then or carry some his gear:p

LOL I wish, he is going to have to piggy back me If I could do that once a week between now and then id be in fair shape but just dont get the time with the wife working weekends.
I refuse to exercise for the sake of exercise when there is perfectly good hills surrounding me.

As for seeing stuff, I see animals pretty much every time.BUT that is only because I dont shoot everything I see.
It would be real easy to shoot everything on the tops out of this area but I am trying to farm them
While I wouldn't begrudge a young or new hunter shooting anything they can. I hope once they have got a few they get a bit more "conservationist "

One thing I learnt very early on is you can only shoot a deer once,if you find a nice spot and there is three and you shoot one next time there will be 2 and so on. If you shoot em all out of an area it can take a LONG time for them to come back if ever.

Seeing animals everytime you go is good, vc. I wish I could say the same haha but nah, right now I'm putting in the foot-hours to find the animals so I can say the same in the future. All part of it. And you're very right about being conservative, I wish me and my mate had been a bit more selective about shooting goats out the back of my mates farm a few months ago. Went back there just after the new year it certainly hadn't bounced back. Didn't shoot all of them so they should come back eventually, but when they do, I'll only shoot one here and there.

Ps. When you shoot the tops, are you in Kahurangi National Park?

There you go Phillip with directions like that you will find that secret spot no sweat.

Haha yup, next thing you know there won't be a single alive deer within 250km of nelson

Nice write up VC must say though for someone who claims to be unfit you put me to shame something wicked! No one believe him, he's part mountain goat and part warrior

I'm liking this lets blame the fat, unfit bastard you had to drag up the hill for there being no deer any more

Weather it was the full moon or the recent pressure with savage hunter knocking over a spiker

Great to see you still taking newbies like me out VC. Your a stellar man.....
