    Heading South.. March next year..

    So me and a mate are doing a bit of a hikoi down south next year.. Stewart island for a few days and then jumping in a cheap rental and heading off to look for a chammy or tahr.. If any of you mainlanders are coming up this way and want to have a look for a Rusa or Red in exchange for the good oil on your local... Flick me a pm and we'll see what we can work out...

    Rusa or Sambar may sell it, they have better reds than us though

    10&11 March is the Big Bore shoot in Kurow if you are around that way.

    Just hunting somewhere different and using different techniques is just as good as the trophy.
    The Te Urewera has a mystique about it.

    It's a special place... The hunting is a very small part..

    If it's a 6 point Rusa then its a mighty trophy!

    Originally from Rotorua and miss the Ureaweras like crazy.

    Happy to give you a nudge in the right direction for Tahr or even show you a spot or two closer to the time.

    Mighty appreciated.. I'll give you a holla closer to the time... If you're headed up this way before then, give me a yell, I've got plenty of gear and a spare sako in the cupboard...

    If you jump both the ditches let me know, might find an evening to get you out looking for a whitetail
