Thread: Forgotten Highway

Used to shoot goats up on Larsens in the 70's, when the freezing works would take them for 25 cents a kg. Always saw a few Fallow up on their property. The Ahuahuiti always had more.

Interesting how time can affect one’s memory. Recall going through Larsens to Pokeka around 1975 ( and a number of walks up to Trains/Tahupo about the same time) and understood that there were basically no deer ( the odd outrider excepted) in that locale.

ha do a quad trip from front of Larsen's out to the the old whare where Pokeka enters the main bush and in that trip you will see likely 50 + maybe more but trophy quality is simply not there

My Grandson and his wife farm on the highway, and she shot a glorious 14 point red just a few metres from their house within the last 3 years...it would score pretty well on the Douglas.....stil quite a few around in 2024....just saying....
