I'm feeling better but think I left it too long to join up.

A Qquick report....

Awesome event yet again!!
Well done SCRSC!!

Our team did quite well. Last minute access issues caused a couple of headaches, but we managed to sneak onto a place at the last minute via scottrods contacts. Cheers Irish Smiley

154 roos between 5 in our team.

Friday afternnon was hard due to the heat, but spotlighting made up for a poor afternoon shooting.
Saturday was better. Later start than expected, due to a very late night spotlighting, but still morning at least lol.
I broke the record (easily) for the most expensive roo early on Saturday's effort. But I was getting cheered on, so just kept right on pulling the trigger - just because I could. Had to take it easy for the rest of the day to save ammo - yeah right Shocked Grin
Recovery proved the biggest problem. But we got enough for our team to bag a few anyway. Plus keenfella got a beauty buck, so he got to weigh him in. 19kg even. Only missed out on 3rd by .2kg.

The crew had lots of fun and the banter was legendary like usual.

Can't wait till next year. Cool

Thanks again to SCRSC, Karearea, scottrods, keenfella, 270moss.

Pic of the drive in on Friday. Went from misty rain to very hot. Pic was taken looking down over the Waitaki Valley.

no probs. Another time we can go somewhere else for roos together.
Boundary maps are easy if you get one, to put into the GPS and avoid hassles.

That's a bloody big roo! Nice one!!!
Has definitely got bigger biceps than you Scottrods but I think you have littler chunky legs :beer:

Yeah always keen for a shoot! I've got a little bit on at the moment but will take you up on that offer at some stage.

I'm out of action until April/May anyway. Roar trip coming up and working up the brownie points.

That is a big roo alright,the biggest bugger this leprochaun got was 25kg.:D You weigh that big fella keen fella?

Yeah we weighed it at 23kg before gutting on a cheap set of hand scales.
On the digital scales at the weigh in it was 19kg gutted.

Great report guys. Hope to be back on deck for next year.
