Thread: A weekend at Rushy's Roost

Good on ya guys.
I used to spend a fair bit of time just up the road from there, its great just sitting back listening to the Kaka's are up in the trees ripping the shit out of things round there.

Excellent report.

I've spent a fair bit fo time chasing pigs through that forest, we used to enter from Minginui.

We went in through Minginui RB. Yes when all you need to do is get out of the car and set up there is no real reason to rough it. Save that up for time in the middle.

Plenty of places in NZ you can hunt from the truck..... no reason to hike all the gear in miles... waists valuable hunting time



That was a quick trip so didn't setup the big fly and only one table..... We used to camp for 2-3 weeks with the kids so have all the gear


Although a good trek and fly camping is still fun

If you can drive there and enjoy a few of life's luxuries then why not.
When we fly in for the roar, we take two chopper trips. Costs a bit more but want for nothing

Leathal, Sako 75, you guys are on to it. Anyone can be uncomfortable but it does not take much effort to be comfortable.

great to see you guyz out there tuffin it out in the bush
might have to get me some of them big red shed crocs some day .... NOT
better luck next time eh

Oh bugger, I was at whirinaki at the same time (Upper Mangamate), if I knew you boys were there we would have dropped in for a beer.

We choose the ''uncomfotable way'' to camp lugging our shit 16km into the bush for 4 days solid hunting and I didn't even so much as spook an animal! So you guys did far better than me.

It would be a pleasure having you at the camp fire KJ.

Very nice playground you have. I agree, if you can be comfortable with a little more effort then do so.

Which famous actress said "Where is the best place and only place men should be allowed to wear crocs?"

Then answered herself " Absolutely fucking no where "

Wont find the answer to that one under a Waikato beer cap.. Cos youd have to force me to open one ha ha..

Come on up and have a play sometime GM

Well done gents great report phillipgr. Living the life of luxury there guys.

Nice work Phillipgr It was such a mint time. Less hunting more chilling & exercise with rifles. Highlight of trip was hearing Rushy ate a caterpillar off of a wragwort plant- singed the hairs off with a lighter. Now that is commitment! And also possibly toxic due to host plant.

Cheers Rushy for a great weekend.

Phillip thanks for the health attack whilst climbing the hill. Nothing like a rewarding smoke at the end of a long hill for a non smoker (outside hunting trips) to regulate the oxygen/carbon monoxide saturation levels.

The caterpilla was an easy eat Brycey but I could go a shit load more of those bugs you caught as that little sucker tasted like caramel.
