    OK Gibo, hit us with the where and when
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    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

    Hi guys. Expect the water level to be up to your tender bits at this time of year. The Horomanga is typically about knee height, but with any rain within three days, expect the river to swell by about a foot. She's fairly swift in places, but if you get a window of a week without rain the river can fall to a gentle stream. As with going anywhere alpine at this time of the year, I suggest appropriate respect and preparation for mother nature. This river valley is a beautiful place to hunt, but it has caught me out before and if you don't respect Te Urewera, she just might shit on you. From memory it's about 2.5-3hours for a fit bloke to walk to Midway and the river crossings are about every 5-10 minutes. Good hut though and if you get nice weather, it'll be mint!!
    Have fun guys. Who's still going then? Rushy, Barefoot and Phil?

    Sorry I've been a bit out of touch, I've been hunting in the Kaimanawas.

    Gibo - gutted you can't make it bro!!!

    Rushy, Barefoot and Toby - if its how it plays out, the Minginui plan has my complete support. I look forward to heading back there.

    Scouser - good to hear you are still keen!

    Hunt4life - cheers for the info

    Spudattack - Don't forget that the dates and all the info are on the first page
    Yeah nah bro

    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt.
