As I am headed into the roar with young Phillip on Thursday next week and as I haven''t put a round through my 30-06 in a long while I thought I should prove the rifle was shooting fine. The last time I fired it it was shooting well but there have been a couple of recent trips were it has had the normal rough bush experience so I thought better be sure than look a fuck wit for missing in front of the young fellah because I had knocked the scope out of alignment at some point in the past. Time constraints saw me improvise so I filled a milk bottle with water and took it out the back of the deer shed. I paced out just over 50 metres (about the maximum distance that I reckon I will get a shot away over), turned and took a quick off hand snap shot. For the purists on here, I know this is Rough as guts but here is the one shot result

Of course, just being a smartarse. An exciting morning indeed, left home at 7:40am arriving at my possie around 8:15am. 338m on the GPS to the hotspot I found a few weeks ago, 100m away and I spooked this one from his bed ( which I had a snooze on on my last trip) he ran about grunting etc so I mewed at him softly which did the trick and he came back for a second look. 168gr VLD from my 7mm08 behind the shoulder had him down quickly but a short distance away. The VLD shed it's jacket making a 2" mince channel but a small exit wound.Quote:

But no one else hunts here and it's nice natives.... I'm out southside so only 5 mins to deer and pigs but forestry hunting isn't my scene. Shot a few out of this spot now. Plenty about. Wasn't far from your place, further round towards the toaroha.
We live at Kaniere now.
There is good native that holds deer close to town. Even closer to southside.
You have private land access around that way? Unless you are where I think, but the bush is a bit shit.
Anything making noise around home yet?
I will be lurking around some of my old haunts after I get out of my Haast block.
Smiddy is now a hoki boy by way of his diddle, so hopefully I can show him some handy deer.

No private access, public land at all my possies. Plenty of deer about close to town alright but I just like getting into spots no one else really hunts or spotlights or chases with "pig" dogs, even though no matter where I go I seem to find an old chip packet or plastic bag haha. Some big stags close by though, a mate found a good 7 point cast in adair's a while ago.
No roaring yet, but all pizzled up and marking out territories now. Smelt a few this last week out the valley, should be going by next weekend in time for me to pull out a 16 and win the Ahaura comp. :thumbsup:
From what i hear your too busy running round makin your own bellows deep amidst your very own rut!!!! Judging by that trophy you pmed this morning id say your fairly well into your peak!!!!Quote:

Pigs are as far as the gorge now.
I remember a 18 coming from blue spur a few years ago. Pretty close to town.
Has blue bottle rd opened up yet do you know?

Not sure on blue bottle mate but I've heard rumours about no hunting up the Arahura anymore!!! Danny mentioned it.
Looks like a bit of shit coming through in the next few days so hopefully she clears up for a while as I've got 17 days off from thursday!
That's a bugger?Quote:

I have 3 weeks from Friday at home. Weather looks iffy for the first week home. Hope it's not too rough or old sneeze may never come back after being confined to one of my bush camps because of rain.

That's what I thought too cause we already shot it lol and it's still on the permit, I haven't heard the full of it but didn't sound good. See milne had fenced across the road or something further round haha never know what's going on out there anymore.Quote:

Nice :thumbsup:
Nice effort 199p. That is a nice rack!!
Even wee head there. Good on ya. Was he roaring?
Yip we where after another stag in the next catchment but some other hunters on the high point gave him there smell and he buggered off.
We went over the ridge and gave a roar and got a nice reply. He sounded a lot further away tho but was down in the creek.
Really nice spot he had aswell defently have to head back in a few years to see who has taken it over.
