   Barry the hunter liked post by SF90 On thread : Redundant Calibres

   I thought the 7x57 did - when me and my mates upgraded from the .303 we all got 7x57's. At that time I thought they were two only two calibres (apart from .22). Then one day my BSA couldn't hit a...

   That's amazingly good money, and bloody long hours - I never did anything like that. I worked my holidays at the Silverstream Hospital looking after 'old gentlemen' who'd been parked there. Started...

   I remember the Lochinvar blokes but the Wainui Trust doesn't ring a bell. There was another station there, can't remember its name - but very well known. It was just to the south of Clements Road...

   Clements Road was the place to be if you wanted to see a 'congregation of meat hunters'. First deer I shot up there I sold at the cool store at the old Rangitaiki pub. Looked in the book and saw all...

   Forgot - the longest 'carry' I ever did was 8 hours, just got stubborn with that one and it did require some recuperation. I shot a 130 pounder (dressed) a couple of years ago and couldn't get it...

   I remember pack horses in the Urewwera's - they'd bugger the hillside tracks. I remember one that had fallen in a hole and there were three blokes trying to dig it out, then five of us - and we...

   I carried a 200 pounder once, knew it was too heavy as I could feel my sinews creaking - but it was only half a mile to the car and moderately flat. That was the Akatarawa's. I did carry 147 hind...
