That's a great variety of food from the wild, those sausages sure look good. That's not a bad 10 pointer alright . What caliber is the rifle?

Thompson center encore 270, I used a Bergara single shot 7mm-08 for a very long time but decided I needed a rifle with a bit more stretch.

Oneshot,

nice catch from both land and sea. Can you tell me what the fish is that is behind the John Dory in the left corner? I think you have another one there upside down also.
Thanks.

That would be Butterfish, they are only found in NZ ( I believe ) and are an incredible eating fish. There was half a dozen under the Paua in that photo.

Also known as greenbone in this neck of the woods.

Old guys used to catch them on a rod and line with a small hook using sand-hoppers as bait.

Great tip I never knew you could catch them on a line.

Nice pics oneshot
