Some years ago my son and I were hunting in a catchment where a police officer from Tauranga had become lost some months previous. He was found almost naked with his survival blanket around his head...

I should have known that would happen
I wouldn't hunt that high at this time of year. Spring growth is only just showing around the 200 metre [asl] at the moment. Plenty of deer seen at this time of year grazing with the calving cows. If...
Don't be put off by the low cloud that we get this time of year. You should still be able to see 50 metres, and that is plenty where you are going. Streams will be high but receding after the 120mm...
