    I would but I am in Nelson....................., Went last year in your neck of the woods and managed to actually see one then went over the road where the season is much longer and better limits. Saw lots but had no gun. Where you going, North or south?

    Oh and Good luck

    Just so happened I was in Chch
    Doing an airport drop off so I
    Figured why not chuck in the gun and dog
    And go for a nosy. Tried a new spot
    And Got an early rooster. Then harassed some
    Quail for a bit then did some exploring.
    Turned out to be not a bad day.

    Went out late this morning with Bob da Browning. There should have been lanes in the river bed with the amount of traffic. I ended up with one low flying hare that I retrieved myself.
