Thread: How's the recon going for the roar?

....even with the roads cleared, and an aerial assessment of huts & tracks in the Ruahines and Kawekas - windthrow will kill any concept of a decent hunt in 2023's roar.
No intention of being all doom and gloom - there will be new clearings opened up on faces not previously considered..... but there will be issues getting to whatever you've shot.
Best of luck to all affected by that bastard Gabrielle, but please be careful.
