15yrs ago I walked 12k up the river from the bottom of the pass.Early morning,seen nothing.Sleeped in truck that night at bottom of pass.Next morning it was drizzly rain,as I drove my way up mailings.Seen 4 deer sheltering under trees from rain,near the top of pass.There was 2 big stags sheltering on bush edge 400yds away,I was very tempted to blast away,but I no spare dry cloths.So just watched them trot up the hill and ly down in the rain.They looked magnificent stag,I was just pleased to see them.
So I walked about 24k the day befor,seen nothing.Next day from truck seen 6 deer.Iv was camp down mailings when the Kaikora quake hit,well that shook the old truck and me.The valley just rumbled.I was a bit concerned for my safety for a bit.Grrrr
