Thread: Scribe (Graeme Sturgeon}

Kerry was head man at the time, Woody and Evan I knew as well, haven't seen Evan in years.

Shot with Garry under Henry Dorrian

Rip Graham!
I had the pleasure of running into him quite often with his family in tow when he did his pilgrimage to fill his freezer at mangaohane every year.
Quite often sat down to a cup of tea or a beer and told yarns.
He used to stay at the Makirikri caravans and later at smythes hut and hunt the area.
In tribute to him the other day I actually got my hilux to a hut they used to use alot that's on doc land that they used to take the old cruiser to.
I would just about be first to get my hilux there in the last 20yrs as two private property's to go through and the track has only just been made possible to do again!
I have read his 3 books and enjoyed them all.
Bloody good fella who I will miss seeing in the scrub!

Re his cruiser.
It turned out to be a bit too high for the garage at Thames, so the old boy cut out 2 trenches for the wheels

yea and the locals were playing Im in love with the coco hahahaha

Wearing Bullers. Classic.

Yes and the locals were having a raging party around a fire that first night. As I recall, one young bugger tried to suggest he would guide us for some koha but we had well and truly gapped it before he would have woken up.

Yes bloody sad to se another legend go. RIP My friend Will really miss you . Was lucky enough to live down the road from Graeme when I was a kid had plenty of good times from trapping peacocks on our farm to guided peacock shoots duck shooting . Graeme even managed to convince my mum that my dad would love the free 12 month old English pointer dog that came with the browning A5 shotgun he brought haha you needed to be their to appreciate that one dad was absolutely horrified when mum told him that it was his dog haha . Graeme thought it was the best laugh in years . Turns out Buck the English pointer once he learnt to swim after having to be chucked in the water a few times turned into the best bird dog dads ever had . Had a couple of trips to the mangaohane plateau as a late teen and in early 20s awesome trips away I’ll never forget. learnt so much from those trips . I hope who ever gets his sako vixen 223 looks after that gun and takes it hunting and continues to tip deer over with it for years to come . Miss you mate will never forget the laughs and good times we had as long as I’m alive .
Condolences to Wife Julie and daughters Kerry and Hayley .
