    How are ya

    Hey team,
    The names Hilary, south waikato based. Keen on my outdoors missions and hunting. Just haven't got the people to get out with! Gets a bit dull on your own sometimes so be good to meet some new people and get out to see some new country. Have spent abit of time in the Kaimanawas and Pureora, tried my hand in the Kawekas last weekend to no avail.
    This seems like a good forum to get out there with so yeah thats me

    Welcome to the forum hilz77. If 7mmsaum points you toward a spot, go there and wait.

    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!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    What is left there these days? It was a vibrant timber town sixty years ago. The first real job my dad had as a boy of fourteen was herding the wild horses out of the hills up the back of Te Whetu so they could fell the trees and one of my grandfathers drove the locomotive that pulled the logs out to the mill and the other ran the cookhouse in the single mans camp. My roots run deep there even though i haven't been there in decades. Do you go in from the Tokoroa or Lichfield side?

    I wouldn't mind a look one day for nostalgia's sake. It has been a couple of years but I am sure I could sit a horse for a few hours if needed.
