Seven of us headed up to one of our favorite spots In the northern ruahines and in betwwen the showers and the wind managed to upend 4 red skins between us.
A couple of photos of the team and a scenic one as wellhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/30/u7yzudab.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/30/ejavusy3.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/30/ezu7e5ez.jpg
That long ridge is looking SW? From or near the hut Andy? The hut on a sort of plateau?
A good smattering of young and old in that team Andy. Well done on the four you bowled over.
Yep the sun gives it away.that is Aorangi in the back ground.
We let one chick come to do the cooking and cleaning but she kept on wanting to come hunting so that was a fail!
Whats Aorangi? I was looking for a mountain and only see foot hills:D Seriously tho. Its the NI I could be looking E or W in those pics, And I don't see no Egmont?:P
Good stuff
The hut is at 1000m and Aorangi is on the east boundary of the rangatikei river just below the mangaohane bridge.
I think the rop of Aorangi is 4020ft above sealevel from memory and has large numbers of red deer and a few japos as well.it is privately owned maori land that you can pay to hunt with out guides.
Bugger the sun i can see that most days:D
Wheres the animal and scenic pics not to mention hunt storys!
Sorry vc.we should of had at least another 3 on the deck but the young fellas dropped the ball with unloaded mags and laughing deer and then we tried to get closer to three nice stags that were at 750 but with truck loads of wind and not enough time to walk that the motor bke starting up turned them into fast moving mobile targets!
All good though the young fellas got a couple anyway!
Give us a yarn then!Quote:
