    It better be - that's what i'm using! I'd be highly surprised if there is anything walking around NZ that could withstand this round (right to the heart).

    I don't have one Phillip but I will tell my wife you said I need one for the trip. It was the 30-06 I had with me down south and yep that is what I would take.

    Bring your AR-15 that you haven't bought yet. This is a valid reason to buy one not that you need a reason.

    Could we have a quick show of hands from people planning to come who class themselves as beginner hunters or more importantly have very limited bush experience?
    Was just thinking that it might be sensible to to team them up with more experienced members as it is a winter trip and if it's like the lower whirinaki there will be some shitty bits to deal with on those hills.

    Good call Barefoot, was thinking something similar along those lines.
    I am reasonably inexperienced in the NZ bush especially in winter, have done a lot in Africa but that is very different.
    Would be good to hunt with someone more experienced if I can make it for the hunt.
