What is the hunting like in there Dundee?
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

Havnt hunted there for a good while Rushey. But we used to meat hunt a bit off the Takapari Road which skirts along the top of the range and is accessed from the Western side of the Range. We pulled a few deer out of the heads of the Pohongina but there is a lot of leatherleaf up there in the sub alphine belt. I guess you know what that is like. You cant go under it and you cant push through it. You can though make some progress clambering over the top of it but it costs you skin. I once took out my sleeping bag out and slept in the middle of a mountainside of it once. I never thought I was ever going to get out of the bloody stuff.
Along the top of Dundees picture of the range was an A frame hut I presume it is still there. I think we called it Takapari Hut

You have had many more compliments and respect on other threads on your short silence. Originally Posted by Scribe

She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.
