Yup, that unfortunate helicopter accident certainly wiped that almost permanent smirk off sage's face. She should stick to what she knows best....being a rent-a-mob leftover.

A team of Coasters spent a week up the Rangitata coupla weeks or so back,bad weather, got nothing but found dead Thar scattered here and there..heavy frost must have killed them eh.

Not sure but I'll find out.They were a tad pissed I believe.

Why coasters would bother to hunt Canterbury has me stumped unless private land? Must have been frustrating for them seeing dead animals everywhere.

I have just finished 2 and a bit months chasing them here on the coast. Our weather saves them from being decimated more than anything I reckon.
