I think he was lost.
I found an Australian a bit further up that creek a couple of years back. He was in tears when I found him had be sitting in the creek for hours wondering what to do ......
He WAS Lost ..... I didn't make the situation any better when I well Fu*k me I'm lost too.
He had only been in the country a week , had been decked out in all the gee whaas at a local Hunting & Fishing store and had told his misses he was going hunting in the Kawekas.
I found him in the Ruahine.
we climbed out of the creek and I took him back to his car. That made him much happier.
Don't think he hunts at all now.
Cheers
Pete
Looks like freiburger off youtubes "roadkill" episodes
A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time
Sounds like he was lucky Pete. Free rifle and gee waars for you??
Twice, one a mountain biker who I found crying beside a track, seems his mates had left him and he wasn't happy being alone in the bush. had all the flash gear. Another time two inexperienced deer hunters who were about to shoot 1 of my dogs thinking it was a pig. I pointed them in the direction of the nearest farm fence in the opposite direction to their car. Thought it best to get them away from me as far and as soon as possible.

Whats with all these people crying???? Ive never been lost in the bush but from the comfort of my bed Im thinking find a creek to find a river to find the coast and if you dont find civilization on the way you were very unlucky indeed. Ive been in an emergency at sea with my brother in kayaks and to be honest it was a character defining moment and if I had broke down in tears we both would have died.
some people just shouldn't be away from concrete and Latae's I guess. The MBiker was on a mb track with multiple branches, Me I was exercising my dogs with their collars off and a bayonet under my arm. Something we were allowed to do but no firearms.
