    @Thar you need to revisit in a about 2-3 weeks & do it again. There might be a bit of noise then with so many hinds. Plus we need another yarn like that to read

    Would like to but it gets a bit popular during the roar so we leave them to it. Down south to the Mackenzie area 01 April so hopefully something will come of that. Cheers, B

    Great yarn, although I have a query. Tawhine…I’m not familiar with. The closest I could find on Google was one vague page which mentioned ‘dense thickets of Manuka’. The next closest is Tarwhine which is an Australian fish

    He means Tauhinu/cottonwood. "tar-winny" is an old farts name for it. https://www.nzpcn.org.nz/flora/speci...-leptophyllus/

    That is another great yarn thanks it inspires me to keep trying to heal and get off the bloody couch and get out there to build up my strength after a badly broken femur last roar (shit happens) being an old fart doesn't help either when it comes to healing up in a hurry so no roar for me this year BUGGER!
    I love your dog I have the same he is 12 now and deaf as a post so he will probably be in dog heaven by the time I come right, I will miss him he has been great company in the bush and made finding shot animals a lot easier.

    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
