Thread: Clements Mill Road

Went up there this morning, stopped at the range and put a few through our rifles to check them and make sure the weather which was a bit dicy first thing was going to clear and it did.
Drove to the end of the road and climbed up the hill for about an hour, more of a blow out to get the hunting legs going again. Saw a bit of fresh sign, spotted a hind but didnt shoot it and noted the fern was starting to come through on the sunny edges. N ice to be out there again after winter

BruceY & others,

We who hunt this area know that it is one of the most heavily hunted areas in the Nth Island yet the sneaky little sods seem to keep keeping on despite the Dept of Corruption's 1080 aerial drops ( more planned I believe??).

I have been hunting off Clements for over 35 years & I'm still learning the areas and the many tricks these little turbo charged ratbags get up to!!!!

There are a few things I do:
1. Always drive the road with my head lights ON.
2. Always have dayglo orange ALL over me and the dog!!!
3. Check the wind direction often when I get onto any fresh sign.
4. NEVER go near the place over easter!!!!!

AND: ALWAYS HAVE A LOT OF FUN & ENJOYMENT!!!!

HAPPY & SAFE HUNTING EVERYONE.
