    Its when you can lay claim to a mai mai,years ago they issued steel tags and hammered them onto pegs for duckshooting pozzies.
    There use to be quite a few pegs at the river with these tags. Now we just tear off a tag that comes with the licence.

    If you are talking subway sandwiches then it is the foot long thanks.
    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!

    Preseason pic's / working bee

    Tagged the maimai yesterday all in all looking positive for a good season number wise a good mix of species, spent a good two hours on the loppers recutting the access track for my truck. Where do my rates go? In past years vegetation control has been done by the Regional Council.





























    Took the ultralight for a walk as when you have a view like this out the back of the maimai why not!





    Quick leg stretch up to Midway no replies to my roars but you don't get them sitting on the couch









    Not the target species come 1st Saturday in May but always cool to see

    It's the head of a Lake, culvert pipes enable water flow through from the river. Dairy cockies had their irrigators turned off but were feeding out plenty of silage.
    Also guys plenty of maimai's that are spare if you want to put the effort in rebuild / brush up - most dingy access though need to have use of one.

    I am loving your fully flocked cowcoys Dundee. Did you buy them locally or import them from the states?
