Hello from the BOP

Great Forum,
Seems more friendly than the others. I enjoy Hunting and trout fishing both fly fishing and jigging out of my kayak. I grew up in the Naki shooting most weekends mainly ducks (in season) Goats and tree bears. I'm a chippie by trade albeit I've been off the tools for a few years now and into the project management side.
I reside in the BOP - married with two wee girls - looking to get a deer dog soon and making a trip to Montana to hunt some beer, antelope, Mule deer and Elk if we get the chance.

Its a great country we live and play in

Cheers
Roy

Hey Maca - They split years ago - I've not really been that close to them to be honest - Martin sees the old man in taupo a bit - he's up in snells beach now.

Did you come & do a club shoot or one of our "wild pork Events' - The only BP rifle ive got is the first gun I ever owned (given by dad) my stevens 32/20 center fire in black powder - uses 11 grains of 4F power - I still hand load the last shells I have and ping the odd goat with it - its so small its like a pop gun.
Weve sold all the Flintlocks , brown bess, cape guns , Hawkins etc . Got a bit of nitro in the cabinet now instead. Sorry that the penny not dropped with you yet

Ah you are up near one of my spots I have access to go hunting up there in the catchment and the only reason I have access there is a very close freind of our family who is a retired gunsmith over there and one of the founders of the western bay of plenty pest destruction board has the contacts to get the permits to get in there.

Ive got a permit to hunt the lower section of that catchment owned by TCC - tight country between gluepot/mountain and pyes pa rd.....seems like plenty of pressure both legal and not?

YEah it is pretty tight in there I spooked a deer on my first hunt in there so how is kerry these days I must get in touch with him or Albie one day to jack up another permit once I get a new rifle so I can get out for a hunt.
