Good to have a report. Thanks for putting it up.

It was strange as saw a heap while driving the roads in odd spots, cold damp areas etc. But only saw 3 cock's when hunting what looked like good country

Might have to go back next year for another look

Nice man
Next time welcome to stay here in Rotorua, plenty of room and a good fire.

Keep in mind for next year that the "dead " areas that have been sprayed, may well be covered in ink weed next year, and that "good spot" with shortish pines will now be 5 foot taller. The birds will still be there but much harder to shoot.

Yep, familiar with the on going cycle of finding new county, it's the same down in manawatu

Our standing joke for the day when up there was " that area be good next year", as seemed to be a lot of young stuff that needed another year to develop good feed

Those blocks may have a deer or two hanging about next year too.
