Thread: A trip to remember and an appointment missed,

Hawkes Bay born and spent a heck of a lot of time in its back blocks. My father was a pig hunter and collected old Winchesters. This and a heap of times on my uncles farm at the back of Tutira gave me a passion for the outdoors of which I still live in. I miss Hawkes Bay as I live down on Stewart Is and have done for 30 plus years and my heart goes out to everyone affected by cyclone G. One of Dads mates [and I bet you know them @GranpaMac] , Snow Angen, Jack O Sullivan and a few others carted a few loads to that Kaweka hut. Snow rights about it in his book.First deer I shot was on Smedley Station as a cadet. Now I get to watch Whitetail deer out of my windows at times. Lifes good.
