Thread: Kaimanawa walk

Jus got home from the end of Clemments mill road,Left the truck at 1800 to walk in the late evening.The dog played up at the swing bridge,again,as the river was low I let him swim across.about halfway to the campsite is a 15 foot dropoff climbing down beechroots,dog says noway.He finely sidled around and came down the spur,he thought he was pretty cool.At the campsite this is what I found.
If you carry it in you can carry it out (insert some Greendog words here)
Left the mess to camp elsewhere,set up in the dark.next morning.
So feeling better about life set out to stalk the sidecreek,no sign anywhere, then the smell.
no bullet hole,green rain?not gonna risk the dog,pretty gutting.I walked back down the creek,packed up and walked out,nice weather,but f$*k it

Should be able to find out when your area was last 1080d Madjon. doesnt look to have been eaten by anything, most of the hair looks to be falling out ,dead at least a week more if its been dry.

more I think,another view

yup

That area shouldnt have been 1080ed? The last drop was july over Te Iringa... did ya mark it on the GPS?

Yea its an intersting one, doesnt look like its been dead long enough for it to have been killed from that drop. Maybe a month or two max, so old age maybe???? Go back for the jaw
