Thread: Pre hunt stuff ups

Early on in my reintroduction to hunting @Pommy and I were heading out to look for wobblies - I'm sure I asked him to grab my rifle from inside the door while I grabbed something I had forgotten. The upshot is we got to the road end to find I had no rifle. Bugger. He had his 223 so we went and found out that TTSX projectiles aren't the first or second or third choice for small critters. Just one of many things learned that day.

The other notable achievement was leaving my boots outside the front door on a trip up the Rangitata. I found this out when we pulled up to the river and our driver suggested that it might be wise to have good boots on should things go pear-shaped... As it was my first time doing any sort of big river crossing I was wondering what the hell I had let myself in for. By an unbelievable stroke of good luck our driver had not only thrown in his spare set of boots into the truck, but they were the exact size needed for my odd shaped feet and had the exact same Formthotics fitted that I use!!! So from total catastrophe we had an awesome trip, learned loads and also got to try out some Lowa Tibets in the perfect terrain
