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

We used to hunt both sides of the range many years ago
The Tamaki was easy access to plenty of side creeks - a bit of a climb and some good slips to glass - Laws Rd was also productive
When the new road went up Takapari Ridge - we changed our focus to Diggers and Centre Creek - there were plenty of deer in Diggers and the leatherleaf was so open you could walk through it
The new road produced plenty of easy deer - the fresh dirt after the dozer - was like a cattle yard
New road - up on the main ridge above Centre Creek - slightly north of the road junction
Isn’t it fun hunting in the snow - Takapari - nah - I reckon it’s a mugs game - should have stayed in bed - much warmer places to be
Up on the main ridge - a few years later on a nicer day

Hiked from Tamaki to the Rokai today. @Been Upto how are you getting on? Looks like you've been in there a few days?
