    Well had a couple of good day in Wanganui. Late start out of Kinloch on Mon , -1 degrees, aiming to be at our destination about 2pm. Quick coffee in Taupo to del Copper fishing line and a coffee, then thru Turangi and up and over the hill to National Park, Desert Rd was closed, stopped and took some photos of the 3 sisters, clear blue dayName:  image.jpg

Size:  193.5 KB. Passed Smash Palace and on thru the Paras, awesome country thru there, and on to Wanganui for lunch, food and beer! Quick visit to Wilson Sports was worth it. Oakland farms about a 30 min rally drive north, mate got a bit nervous sliding the Ranger round the corners.
    Dan, Mary and kids were there to great us and show us our very comfortable accomodation, quick discussion on plan for afternoon, Dan pointed at the verticals climb adjacent from the house, hehe I thought your joking? Nope see you in 30mins. My mate and I discussed how the shit we were going to haul 134 yrs of combined experience up there! Dan told us s piece of cle, he's very patience, said the longest it had taken with a guy was 1-1/2 hours! I didn't feel any better, but we breezed up in a 20 mins, well nearly, old mate got a bit of vertigo, like a sheep with staggers, he blamed it on to many boxes round the ears, he's lived a filthy life!
    Hand up and we see our first 3 yearlings about 50 metres over the top, sun was a prick, this was the first of about 20 animals seen all free ranging from the surrounding forest. Walked on round the ridge on the boundary fence, looking back downName:  image.jpg

    Dan signals two hinds about 100 metres, to slow gone! Then after a bit of sidling round, another down on the track, sun was a bastard, so mate quietly slips back down thru the bush and at about 220 metres scores a direct miss with the 270! Start down myself another hind pops out, Maca to slow again!
    Off down the track, light starting to fade and 3 hinds about 400 metres away, quiet stalk down the creek and pop up about 100 metres, bi pod down, snuggle in, slip a round quietly up the spout and bugger me glasses totally fogged, shit cannot see a thing, wipe them, still the same, shit I'm learning the hard way, can't see without my goggles! Finally a 1/4" of vision, bang miss FFS. Dusk is here, turn back down the track for home and hello, two stags an a spiked at 100 metres, glasses clear as, bipod down another round in and bang, flop, shit hot.Name:  image.jpg

    Now we told Dan we were old and he believed us, kindly gutted it and carried it out, service , I don't think I could have stood up with it!
    Back to the Motel, cook dinner, and drink beer and off to bed.

    5:30am up for a cooked breaky and he's my cunning move, real hard frost, so told my mate he'd have a better chance if just he went with Dan and I stayed, cleaned up and enjoyed the fire. He could have stayed if he had taken the 200 metre shot from the motels porch at one
    of the three hinds on the hill! But he decided he wasn't fit enough and disappeared with Dan down the track. Three hours later they return barren, saw 14 animals and missed his only shot from 75 metres, I know where there is a cheap 270hahahaha!
    Left for home about 11 am picked up two more fallow for a mate in Wanganui, they had culled about 20 animals on the weekend!
    Back by the same route, stopping at Smash Palace, shit for miles, if you want some thing for your car they'd have it!
    Great easy couple of days, thanks to Dan, recommend arm chair shoot!
