Will be another opportunity sometime, maybe next march as soon as the blocks reopen. Want to avoid real cold and avoid blocks already thrashed later in the available window. Will work out something in the future. Steep terrain is too harsh to be pleasant for older troops and poses risks to them. TK would have been good.

Might be better to get a drive in block rather than chopper...long gone are the days when a squirrel could easily (well easily maybe the wrong word) take 4 guys, 3 dogs and a shitload of booze and food and fly into the higher Kaimanawa areas...and then manage to fly out with 6 deer, well what was left of them after feasting for a week on them.
