    Im looking foward to hearing how period 2 was @yogi and @mawzer308

    I have been keeping an eye on the calendar. It seems quite fluid. All blocks were fully booked this morning and now able lake and adams range are available.

    Sorry mate, got my wires crossed, we're period three. In this Saturday looks to be a good weather window, I'll post results when back.

    Period 2 started off with fantastic weather before an orange heavy rain warning was issued.
    Tahr either deep in the scrub or right up on tops.
    Bulls were moving around alot and plenty of posturing and lip curling going on. This surprised us being quite early yet.
    Certainly a lack of nanny about compared to past years no doubt due to continuing cull operations.
    Some good bulls about most around the 5 or 6 year old.
    Shot a 7.5 year old 12.5 inch bull.

    Save our Tahr. They belong in the southern alps.

    Good on ya @yogi
    Keen on a bull pic if your keen to share

    I was watching that weather. Also a decent amount of snow end of first period. Did you get whipped out before the rain or spend the whole week in?

    Got out yesterday due to work commitments after a few fantastic days in the mountains with superb weather. Lots of Bulls around but the best that could be mustered up this trip were a few 12.5-inch specimens before we put our heads down and made a move on a bull that we had watched for a few days. He turned out to be a heavily broomed old battler of a bull that was around 11-12 years old, no teeth left and massive in body size, almost looked like a grizzly bear.

    I'll get some photos on here at some point but if anyone is heading into Teichelman then I’m happy to share info to make your trip a successful one.

    Also, if you’re heading in for the Ballot here are a few common courtesy tips to ensure that the people in after you are not left wallowing in your filth.

    1) Take your rubbish home. It's not hard.
    2) Bury your shit and at the very least don’t shit close to camp where others walk or create 'mine fields'
    3) Don’t leave dead animals right next to camp or on the Heli pad!

    If it was you, then shame on you, you’re a grubby bastard and honestly shouldn’t be allowed back.

    Far out, thats very poor form !!
    Not many folk in there before you @Hayden C so should be easy for the powers to be to figure that one out.
    Perhaps a nicely worded email to accompany your hunting diary might point them in the right direction

    Also well done on the old battler bull, looking forward to a picture
