Thread: Nelson lakes fourum hunt 7 8 9 Nov 2014

Super weekend with super blokes!
We got off the boat-thanks mike and VC ! Me and Munsey got setup and headed off for a 4 hour walk to Morgans hut. 4 massive windfall areas meant it took us 7.5 hours. Well and truly buggered when we got there.
Munsey went for a river dance upstream-ill let him tell that story-I went back down to watch some flats. All I saw were some obese possums.
Sleeping bag was a welcome sight Friday night.Sat am we head off upstream to check some clearings on map.
Plenty of sign up and down the 12km of river flats, a good portion of it fresh.
Glassed the tops every opportunity we got but saw absolutely nothing.
Got back to the hut and had an overdue breakfast and at 1pm headed off on the long buttcrack of a walk back to base.
Had a fair few xtra river crosssings to avoid the windfall. Found a lot more sign and got back to base around 6.30 to a few brown refreshments -your a legend Stingray ! Me and Munsey had a few detailed convos on the way back about such beverage partaking.
Dinner was had along with a few more medicinal brown liquids-got to keep beerdrated!, think I was the first into bed and the last to rise which I can blame some of on being well hydrated and nothing to do with being farking shagged.

After a decent breakfast session it was pack up and into the boat.
All in all a superb weekend and while no deer were shot that doesn't mean there was no lead in the air.
4 parties all got onto deer which I think is a great result in itself for a lot of blokes new to the area.

I think you can measure a trips success sometimes not by the deer on the ground but by the laughter and good times, of which there were tons.

thanks all for a great time !

Pics to follow when I can get them off me phone.
