    Had 3 stags going for it on ether side of the tent last night no more than 150m away but to much low cloud to see with headlamp. Had 6 pointer roaring at lunch time yesterday. Still haven’t seen a descent stag with bez tine yet in this area just the bushy cull stags. A lot more stags roaming around now checking out the cycling hinds. Seen a young fawn no more than a month old with its mum, she must of been late to cycle last year. Time to come home nearly out of ammo, dam goats.

    What has the weather been like there mate? Clear and crisp? We are only getting down to 10 overnight and a bit overcast so may be slowing it up a bit.

    Where are you hunting @Gibo ? The Kaimais or further south?

    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    Mostly clear below 800m, yeah about 8 or 10 degrees at night and only 1 frost in 11 days. The bush and the big native is so dry makes for hard stalking. Most of the deer are low down where the water is. Still closest stag shot was 10m.

    South of Tauranga mate. Got a mate that lives up the Kaimais and has heard some noises. I'm stubborn and trying to get a trophy out of a block i've been hunting a few years now....I have seen them so I know they are good! Getting onto them for a shot is beating me so far hahahaha!

    Nice work place.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    That was probably somewhat predictable. I like the shit stirring aspect of it though.
