    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    For all that are interested in this hunt please see below a topographic map of the area. I have not been hunting in this area but there are certainly some interesting arears to be seen on the map that would be worth checking out.

    Dougie I use NZ Topo Map - New Zealand Topographic Map

    I locate the area that I want to look at and then blow up to a size that I want and print the section off. I always carry a topographical map folded in my day pack but tend to use a blown up version of an area on A4 sealed in a zip lock bag as the map I work from in conjunction with GPS or compass.

    Excellent FH. Now all I need to do is figure out how to keep track of who prefers what dates.

    Thanks for the heads up Leathel, I was already scoping out likely looking places on the southern side. Oh well back to the starting blocks I go.

    www.wams.org.nz is a good place to look, type in Urchin and follow the tracks back and you have Urchin and Kaimanawa road camp sites... Clements of coarse and Sika lodge or one of the many camp sites.

    Lots camp on private land down there and get away with it but as a Forum hunt its probably not a great idea
